Summary: Beautiful and poignant!
Comment: A friend of mine told me to read this book, and I couldn't thank her enough. This book touched me deeply in so many ways, and I feel it was an act of courage to finally express the unthinkable loss of a child. I especially liked the way the author captured the sense of being shocked at the loss of control that accompanies birth (and motherhood). I recommend this book to any woman who has considered moving past loss into a second or third chance at the greatest experience: motherhood: with all of its terrors and confusions and poignant heart splitting moments of unbearable love and vunerability. As someone who has considered having a child, Shadow Child has opened some harsh realities about the trauma and pain of losing one's child. Kudos to this author for transformming what could have been a destructive and bitter experience into hope and a kind of triumph...

Summary: Loving Our Children
Comment: This is a beautifully written book. It weaves art and nature, marital love and familial connections, great losses and sweet celebrations. It chronicles childbearing--not just the physical but the emotional, from welcoming a child into the world to seeing a child off for the first day of school. It also beautifully describes the heartache of a first son who died at birth.
