Teresa Strasser made her baby a spleen and some eyebrows.
He got her a book deal. Everyone loves babies-and pregnant women-so TV and radio
personality Teresa Strasser decided to use this obsession to
her advantage. She came up with a way to provide for her
newfound family and help other mommies-to-be with this down-
and-dirty memoir about first-time pregnancy. An award-winning writer, Teresa is achingly honest about the
motherhood she begins experiencing at age thirty-eight. With
a biting sense of humor and heart, she portrays the
tribulations that come with each trimester, from nausea,
weight gain, and bladder infections to dealing with those
other kinds of pregnant women. (You know the ones. The ones
who glow-and gloat about it.) Exploiting My Baby is a must-read for anyone pregnant,
trying to get pregnant, or who is just more crazy than
baby-crazy. Hopping on a trail pioneered by such lions as
Laura Ingalls Wilder, Erma Bombeck, and Tori Spelling,
Teresa has no problem using her pregnancy, childbirth and
difficult relationship with her own mother for material.
It's her blunt and plain-spoken approach to exploiting her
family for literary success that sets her apart.
