the documentary, “The Business of Being Born,” tells her fascinating  
personal story while providing an insider’s look at natural 
childbirth in the home setting.

Muhlhahn will be participating in a panel discussion on home birth on 
Thursday, January 8, at 7 p.m. at McNally Jackson Books at 52 Prince 
Street in N.Y.C.  She’ll sign copies of her new memoir after the 
discussion.  The home birth panel will be moderated by Daphne Beal, 
contributor to Vogue and The New York Times.  This event is free and 
open to the public.
