Review
"Clearly the most important book on childbirth available today, Silent Knife
should be read by everyone connected with childbirth, consumers and professionals.
No other book on the market today offers the complete help to cesarean prevention,
including VBAC information and support. . . . One of those few books that has
the power to change a person's life." - Justine Clegg, Council for Cesarean Awareness
