Book excerpt: `Heart-wrenching, heart-warming and heartfelt - Mother Ship is a beautifully crafted, warts-and-all love letter to our wonderful NHS' Adam Kay, author of This is Going to Hurt `Our greatest gift to one another is this: each woman here has been swept out by a riptide, pulled far from the current of normal motherhood. Apart and all together in this space, our odd craft, we are drawn back into the folds of the unremarkable.' After her identical twin girls are born ten weeks prematurely, Francesca Segal finds herself sitting vigil in the `mother ship' of neonatal intensive care, all romantic expectations of new parenthood obliterated. Her gripping diary of those months combines the tenderness of a love poem with the compulsive pace of a thriller. As each day brings a fresh challenge for her and her babies, Francesca makes a temporary life among a band of mothers who are vivid, fearless, and inspiring, taking care not only of their children but of one another. MOTHER SHIP is an intimate, raucous, sublime and electrifying memoir. It is a hymn to the sustaining power of women's friendships, and a loving celebration of the two small girls - and their mother - who defy the odds.

Book Synopsis Life on the Mothership by : Suzanne Lie
Download or read book Life on the Mothership written by Suzanne Lie and published by . This book was released on 2015-01-26 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There were just the two of us in the ship.I had not been on the Ship very long when I had my first experience of the Mothership's Oversoul. I had been there long enough, however, to understand that the ship was a living, multidimensional being. I had a vague understanding of the sixth dimensional areas of the ship. However, the seventh dimensional portion of the ship is not an “area.” It is a formless soul that overlooks all the souls who reside on the ship.The super-subconscious frequency of the ship automatically observes, repairs and updates the basic structure, which is always changing. Therefore it holds the basic form of every component of the ship. On the other hand, the Oversoul consciousness is a formless, yet tangible energy that feels like an electrical field filled with love and cohesiveness.These feelings usually are most predominant on the upper areas of the ship, such as the bridge and all command centers. However, when necessary, the Oversoul over- lights meetings, individuals, and devices on the ship that are called upon to function at an exceptionally high state of consciousness.I was taken to the Mothership shortly after I had left “time” during my meditation. Once I could leave time, a vast array of new abilities lay just beyond my reach. Hence, I was taken to the Mothership for more advanced studies. The Arcturian and I entered a scout ship and headed for the Mothership.
