the mother to be is called The Squire. She oversees her Seaside house while her husband is abroad and while expecting her fifth child. Even though this was published over 80 years ago, The Squire deals with the same issues and tasks that current day parents attend to.She prepares the home, her family, and herself for the birth. She discusses her choice to have children with a neighbor who chooses to live without them. The mother also shares the most beautiful thought concerning the pain of childbirth when she says, “And if you can marry the movements, go with them, turn like a screw in the river and swim on, then the pain becomes a flame which doesn’t burn you.”
