    About this ebook

    What happens to a woman—and a marriage—when she loses a baby not once, not twice, but five times? With a surprising amount of humor, as well as poignancy, award-winning fiction writer Michelle Brafman explores pregnancy loss from the perspectives of mother, husband, and unborn baby, providing a window onto what is usually a very private kind of grief.
