About the Author: Gladys Taylor McGarey, M.D., M.D. (H), is internationally known for her pioneering work in alternative medicine, natural birthing and the physician-patient partnership. She has practiced medicine for more than 50 years and advocates viewing the patient as a whole being. A much-honored physician, her peer and patients have called Dr. McGarey the Mother of Holistic Healing. Through her international lectures and tours, Dr. McGarey teaches a gentle approach to disease, it is not about killing off a disease, it is seeing the patient as a whole person.

About the Book: This is a collection of stories about birth and life in the new age. It is a string of precious beads in which the thread holding them together is one of Dr. McGarey's own interpretive ability and philosophy. As often as possible, she quotes the stories as individuals experiencing the events wrote them for her. The remainder of the tales is from her own experience in delivering babies into the world and taking care of people and their problems in the course of her medical practice.

In this book, with all her wisdom and experience as a Doctor and her compassion and insight as a human being, Dr. Gladys shares her deep awareness that birth is so much more than the biological process our culture often reduces it to.

McGarey, M.D., is so ahead of her time...that time has not caught up with her YET! We will understand the value of her work in years to come, as science, medicine and wisdom begin to meet each other - through the eyes of newborn babies. Do not underestimate this powerful healer; it was through her efforts that fathers were allowed into delivery rooms in the 1970's.
