WELCOME! You are most likely about to embark on the greatest journey known to womankind — pregnancy and motherhood. It is an odyssey so exhilarating in its exhaustiveness, so powerfully awe-inspiring and humbling, so life transforming, you'll need more than a few sister friends along the way to make it through. Help has arrived with The Mocha Manual to a Fabulous Pregnancy!

Enduring forty weeks of pregnancy, with all its grisly details—cravings, uncontrollable flatulence, violent mood swings—along with its joyous moments of anticipation and optimism is more than even the staunchest self-proclaimed super woman can handle alone—yes, even you with the shiny boots and the red cape blowing in the wind.

That’s where The Mocha Manual to a Fabulous Pregnancy comes in. It is the first in a series of books designed to help black women successfully navigate maternity and beyond.

ABOUT THE MOCHA MANUAL
Pregnancy is about doing your personal best to bring a healthy baby into the world. Black women have unique issues that make balancing our careers, health, sense of style, stressful lives, and financial concerns even more challenging. Throw it all together and you have a group of sisters in need of some serious support.

The Mocha Manual is the black woman's "everything" guide to pregnancy and like The Girlfriend's Guide to Pregnancy and What To Expect When You're Expecting, we anticipate that women everywhere will look to it for advice and share with one another in the years to come.

BOOK REVIEW
