The words 'Caesarean Section,' are powerful. They conjure up strong emotions. For some, feelings of doubt, shame and judgement. For others a sense of safety, relief, validation and reassurance. But they are rarely spoken of in the ecstatic tones with which we celebrate so-called natural, or vaginal birth. They are rarely called beautiful, or associated with an innate sense of feminine power. Knotting its way through history, culture, folklore and human experience throughout the world, Thread seeks to reframe the Caesarean Section on its journey through myth, magic and medicine.

Stories, Threads and Magic from the life of Dennis C Merritt. I’ve always told stories that stuck with me, either because they’re funny, or ironic, or illustrate something or other, like the small plane almost crashing when I was skinny dipping with Alice or Mary dropping a cork on end. They’re the Stories in this book. As I got older I began to see that my life had unfolded as if choreographed, with one thing leading naturally to another, such as how a caving couple's computer maps of Flint Ridge led to the first addictive computer game, and my career. These longer tales are the Threads.
