"MAMA: True stories of Maternal Health and Malawi, is a remarkable book. Caitlin Arlene has tapped into the soul of maternal-child care in countries where the health inequities and the geo-political-social environments cause more harm than good. This is a 'must read' for anyone who is planning on working in the developing world. Brilliant, poignant and thoughtful, I highly recommend it." - Dr. Sarita Verma, Dean, President and CEO of Northern Ontario School of Medicine

While working on an international development article as a summer student, author Caitlin Arlene was shocked to discover the desperate statistics surrounding global maternal health. Every day, approximately 830 women die due to preventable complications in pregnancy and childbirth. The same day will bear nearly 6,700 neonatal deaths-infants who do not make it past their first month.
In Mama: True Stories of Maternal Health in Malawi, Caitlin Arlene takes you alongside her journey to uncover the anonymity of the women and children behind these critical numbers. As an eye-opening compilation of true stories that simultaneously breaks and mends your heart, Mama is a compassionate narrative that highlights the plight of women, children, families, and healthcare practitioners in the center of the maternal health crisis. Highlighting the mountains to be climbed and the peaks that have been conquered, these stories explode with a sense of urgency and hope.
