 About the book
Alethea Pascascio one day wondered what the 3 month old fetus inside of her would become as an adult. She often wrote in her journal what her spirit told her about the baby's personality and possibilities. Little did she know that four years later, her imagination and inquisitiveness was going to delve into unchartered territory that would bring great clarity to her abstract journaling.
She wrote a novel from the perspective of a fetus on the inside of his mother. This Pulitzer-Nominated book is "Womb Child". It tells how a baby's purpose and destiny begins before his/her birth date. This story also reveals how a child inside of the womb can react to circumstances on the outside, exposing the importance of a woman's physical and mental health during pregnancy. One critic says "Womb Child weaves the physical and spiritual world into a tapestry that is simply brilliant".
