"The art of writing is a gift that needs drive. It is Sarra''s motivation,determination, and loving character that have initiated that drive. I have sharedwith her and her husband the sadness of miscarriages and the joy of giving birthto her four lovely children. In a field shared by all mothers, Sarra manages tocover and address the different aspects of the mystery of motherhood, yet at thesame time brings to light more facts and fresh opinions. She provides a great dealof worthy and practical advice that will give more confidence and reassurance tomothers. I find the book enjoyable and stimulating and recommend it heartily,both for those new to motherhood and for those who are already blessed with it."

This makes the book different from any other book written by professionalsattempting to prepare and educate future mothers. From Mum to Mum is a greatsource of information , from which mothers learn about early pregnancy, morningsickness, heartburn and labour, etc. Sarra also shares the pleasures of preparingfor the arrival of the baby, the onset of labour, and the delivery, as well ascaring for the newborn. The book is for all mothers as it is written in a verysimple, easy to read style. Sarra uses her own personal experience to explain andclarify scientific words and processes. As the pediatrician of her fourbeautiful, healthy children, I have shared with her the many experiences andevents described in this book and I have had a great pleasure reading it."
