Brought to Earth by Birth
Photographs and words weave together the epic nature of birth, lived eloquently by women, newborns, family and attendants.

Penny Simkin, PT, Doula, Author:
"I love this book and you will, too. How can we not love a book that focuses so purely on the timeless universal experience of birth? Harriette's keen eye and simple yet profound words bring us new insight to ponder the poignancy and wonder that characterize pregnancy, birth and new life."

Julia Seng, Phd, CNM:
"This gentle book whispers encouragement to women to ignore all the noisy pop culture messages about birth and to balance their ways of learning about their choices. Brought to Earth by Birth is a valuable gift to give a pregnant woman or father-to-be, a birth professional in training, even a boy or girl wanting to know where he or she came from. The photographs span Hartigan's career, depict diverse families and settings, and convey a deep ease and passion for witnessing-and bearing witness to-women giving birth. She makes us welcome to look too, and to feel. And to know what is possible."

Elizabeth Shadigian, Ob/Gyn:
"Harriette's tight, evocative visual thoughts capture the value of our own births. This modern fusion of poetry and photography takes readers/observers to new places within."

Scott Sperlich:
"I absolutely LOVE your book!!! It is to me remarkably beautiful, poetic and profound. A pure joy to read and peruse. In addition, I find it to be incredibly informative and transformational in look at the experience of birth."
