Just a few short notes:

First of all, McCracken may seem melodramatic if you have never experienced a miscarriage or stillbirth. I assure you that she is not. Keep an open mind as you read this.

Second, do not let anyone read this book who is (for the first time) pregnant/trying to get pregnant/thinking about kids. This book is the equivalent of all the horror stories people feel compelled to tell you (when you're pregnant). I hated that, and it seems tons of people don't care that they're scaring you half to death LOL.

Aside from those caveats, it is a really compelling book that goes from hope to hopelessness back to hope. I read this in one day.
