Letters to Levi

The Education and Adventures of a New Mom

Life is full of adventure, whether that adventure is about exploring the great outdoors or exploring the wilderness of new motherhood. For author Claire Henley Miller, it is both, and her new book beautifully narrates the journeys she made throughout her first year with her son, Levi. In Letters to Levi, Miller writes to her son, telling him about his first days, the things they did, the way he seemed to wake to the world, and the way she woke to the world anew through him. She candidly shares everything from going into labor to what it’s like to survive a cross-country move with a newbaby. From natural birthing to learning how motherhood means making sacrifices for your baby, Miller shares parenting tips and insights for new mothers who, like her, are rediscovering themselves after childbirth. With this new motherhood biography, Miller continues the narrative she began in her first book, Mile 445: Hitched in Her Hiking Boots.
