I am so SAD!!!!!!!!
I read Secrets of the Baby Whisperer a billion times when I became a new mom. It really helped me a lot, and I loved reading interviews with Tracy. Her Web site is great.

Tracy Hogg, a British-born nurse and best-selling author who was dubbed the "baby whisperer" for her ability to sooth prickly newborns and their anxious parents, died of melanoma Nov. 25 at a hospice in Doncaster, England. She was 44.
Hogg was the author of the 2001 book "Secrets of the Baby Whisperer: How to Calm, Connect and Communicate With Your Baby. " She was given the nickname by a Hollywood executive who, after observing Hogg with her colicky newborn, was reminded of the 1998 movie "The Horse Whisperer," based on the novel by Nicholas Evans, in which an empathic trainer heals an injured horse.
"She had the ability to come into the room incredibly quietly and settle the baby and handle the baby with such compassion and confidence and training. It was truly like the magic touch," said Elisabeth Seldes, a former studio executive, who sought Hogg's help when her son was born in 1997.
Hogg cared for more than 5,000 babies, including those of celebrities Jodie Foster, Cindy Crawford, Jamie Lee Curtis and Michael J. Fox. When "Ally McBeal" star Calista Flockhart adopted a baby boy in 2001, she booked Hogg for seven weeks.
