		<description>This happened to me. I was eight months pregnant, and no one ever knew what caused the death of my baby. I&#039;m not sure whether reading this book would be cathartic or just too difficult. I might try it.</description>

		<description>I have this on my reading list for 2009!  I bought it last year when I read a review of it because several years ago I had a baby daughter die in utero two days after her due date.  It was a stunning and unexpected event for our entire family, but despite the grief and pain we were so amazed and delighted at God&#039;s work through all of that time.  

Part of the reason I&#039;m looking forward to reading this, I guess, is to revisit a few of my own memories, but also to experience that commonness of humanity through another woman&#039;s life.

Thanks for reviewing it!</description>

		<description>Amy - You could read it in just an afternoon.  short but powerful.

Tom - Thank you for your kind words.  Feel free to send me more information via my contact page.  I am very overwhelmed with review copies at the moment and am being pretty picky at the moment.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m very impressed with both the reviews I&#039;ve seen here and the response from your readers.  This is one of the best blogs of its kind; well done.  I haev a book I&#039;d like to recommend -- okay, I wrote it -- but it seems it would be a good fit for your readership.  It&#039;s &quot;108th Street&quot;, a story of kids growing up in the 1950s.  Love to chat with you about it if you have an interest.</description>

		<description>S. Krishna - It was beautiful.  I would like to read more from her.

Wendy - I couldn&#039;t put it down even though I kept seeing passages I wanted to share.  So profound. 

Vasilly - It really isn&#039;t that long either.  I read it in just two short sittings.  You won&#039;t regret it.

Jena - Winter is already depressing enough. I figure if you&#039;re already crying, you might as well cry some more!

Kathy - I&#039;m glad you liked it.

Kim - It does make you grateful.  Having a baby in and of itself is a miracle.  It&#039;s amazing that more doesn&#039;t go wrong more often.

Shelburns - I know.  I don&#039;t think I read them back to back though.  Maybe something a little lighter tomorrow. 

Staci - I think anybody could take something away from this book.  Men, women, married, single, parent, not a parent.  If you know anybody who&#039;s had a baby or a death then you&#039;ll walk away learning something.

Lisa - She mentioned in the book how sometimes people would ask her how her baby was that didn&#039;t know it had died.  It was very hard.  I like how she didn&#039;t know how to answer after having her second child when people asked if it was her first because it wasn&#039;t.  She loved her first just as much as the second.</description>

		<description>There is just no way I could read this. A friend of mine and I were pregnant with our first babies at the same time, she was due about 2 months before I was. Her daughter died in the 39th week and she had to deliver a full term stillborn baby.  No one told me for weeks. She now has two healthy baby girls. I can not imagine.</description>
