Being a new parent is nerve-jangling enough as it is, but what happens ifyour baby is not what you were expecting? How do you deal with theconflicting feelings, a heart assailed by overwhelming love andoverwhelming fear, guilt and anxiety as your expectations are rerouted?
This happened to Caroline White. So she pulled together her contraryemotions - the good, the bad and the ugly - and spun them into apoignant and uplifting fable, an inspiration for all new parents who findthemselves stumbling along an unfamiliar and unanticipated path.Written with great honesty and love, The Label is anchored by a simple yetpowerful central image, a metaphor for all that is limiting andprescriptive, and explores what happens when you let the label go andwatch as your child blossoms into their best life untroubled by negativeexpectations.
