Press Release Summary: Announcement of Tori Kropp's "The Joy of Pregnancy" virtual
book tour.

Press Release Body: Join author Tori Kropp on her first virtual book tour with Pump
Up Your Book Promotion Public Relations as she travels the blogosphere in August to
talk about "The Joy of Pregnancy", her book that helps mothers- and fathers-to-be
concentrate on the miracle of pregnancy and birth rather than on possible
complications with month-by-month information that expectant parents crave: how the
baby is developing, how the mother's body is changing, how to prepare for birth and
baby, and the pros and cons of various pregnancy-related choices and issues.

Read what reviewers are saying: "('The Joy of Pregnancy') is a refreshing mix of
medical information and helpful, nonjudgmental advice, which urges readers to inform
themselves but also to relax and enjoy the special time and anticipation of
pregnancy. Years of experience working with pregnant women gives Kropp a reassuring
voice, and her book is sure to leave readers feeling more prepared-and less
frightened-about the journey of pregnancy." -Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"'The Joy of Pregnancy' is a must-read for all pregnant women. Tori Kropp explains
the joy and wonder of being pregnant and offers the practical advice and information
women need to make the most of their pregnancies. I strongly recommend this book."
-Will Hammett, M.D., Central Ohio OB/GYN
