Creativ/Literary Nonfiction

The Creative/Literary Nonfiction, Dare to Love by Eliana Osborn seemed meaningful to me. It is about a woman who had an unexpected baby that is not perfect, and the mother did not know how to love her own baby. As we all would think, motherly love should come natural to all mothers, but in reality it does not. What if one does not know how to be affectionate? Throughout the story the woman is trying to figure out how to love her own baby. She tries to by cleaning and feeding the baby and also keeps her baby secure. In the end, the mother wants to love her own child and wonders if she can grow into being a mother. I thought this story was meaningful; It made me wonder if I would be a good mother. Perhaps Eliana isn't alone.
