Danzy Senna
In Baby Love, Rebecca Walker has shone a bright light on the Ambivalent Generation-those of us raised to remain daughters rather than become mothers, to wonder rather than to know. Moving, wise, and deeply honest, Baby Love has illuminated a crucial question for our times. (Danzy Senna, author of Caucasia)
Catherine Newman
Walker sways on a kind of scary, sublime suspension bridge, stretched between being somebody's child and becoming somebody's mother, and turning her fiercely compassionate intelligence to both. Thanks to her unique vision, the familiar views along the way become nothing short of astounding. (Catherine Newman, author of Waiting for Birdy)

Asha Bandele
Those of us who have followed Rebecca Walker have come to expect a brilliant journey, one that locates the balance between reason and emotion, blood and sinew. Baby Love does not disappoint. Rebecca Walker's offering does what all finely crafted memoirs should seek to do: expose the experience of the writer but only to illumine the experience of the reader. As a daughter, but most of all as a mother I read this book and was transformed. (Asha Bandele, author of The Prisoner's Wife: A Memoir)
