Every woman carries a field that remembers how to create.

It holds memory, ancestry, and intention, and it is the first home a child ever knows. This is a book about that field, and about the unseen, sacred work of creation: the choice a soul makes before it arrives, and the passages of conception, pregnancy, and birth, including the ones that close sooner than we hoped.

Part guide, part companion, part quiet place to set your own heart on the page, Holding Life moves gently between each stage, offering practices, reflections, and a way of seeing that reaches past the physical and into the patterns that shape us.

Penny Green has spent more than twenty years in the healing arts, walking beside people who long for a child and those already carrying one, helping them meet the deeper currents of creation that medicine leaves unspoken. A practitioner, teacher, and clairvoyant, she writes for the woman who wants to feel the sacred in the ordinary, and to walk this path with reverence for her body, her knowing, and the life forming within her.

A gentle companion alongside the care of your midwife and doctor.
