ALMA is the story of a child’s birth. It is an allegorical work about how a child changes the lives of all who get close to her. Through the elements of the story (the maternity clinic, the therapy Unit, the six inmates living there, the newcomer, the mother giving birth, Alma herself) the themes of the book revolve around the feelings and thoughts of parenthood. In what way do you approach this new person whose actual birth you witnessed? How can you tame this tidal wave of wishes and contradictions sweeping you over? Lastly, how wonderful it is to be carrying inside you always, this undefeatable love!

ALMA is a book about the gift of life.
