Meet Lisa Catherine Harper, author of A Double Life: Discovering Motherhood, winner of the 2010 River Teeth Literary Nonfiction Prize. Publishers Weekly has called the book, which merges personal narrative with research, “universal, moving, and relevant.” Following the intimate story of Harper’s first pregnancy, from conception to her daughter’s first word, A Double Life looks at how the biological facts of motherhood give rise to life-altering emotional and psychological changes. Harper’s carefully researched story reminds us that motherhood’s central joys are also its most essential transformations.
