Is there any truth in the idea of character informed by birth order, or the loneliness of only children? What is the reality of sibling rivalry? What might a parent to one, or two, come to regret? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Lynn Berger is here to fill that gap with the curious, reflective \u003ci\u003eSecond Thoughts\u003c\/i\u003e. Grounded in autobiography and full of considered allusion, careful investigation and generous candor, it's an exploration specifically dedicated to second children and their particular, too often forgotten lot. Warm and wise, intimate and universal at once, it's a must read for parents-to-be and want-to-be, parents of one, parents of two or more, and second children themselves.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLynn Berger \u003c\/b\u003eis the Care Correspondent at Dutch journalism platform De Correspondent.
