She takes her readers by the hand as she explains miscarriages, grief, loss, friendship, marriage, and unfortunate encounters with public restrooms.
Infertility is a battle that women have been fighting for centuries, but the seemingly taboo subject is rarely discussed openly. Bailey Henry describes her journey with infertility, including four miscarriages, marriage, grief, love, and the chance she was never properly potty-trained. With raw honesty, heartbreak, and a bit of potty humor, Bailey discusses the trials of being pregnant, but never having a baby. She masterfully brings women's issues to the foreground—where they belong. If you've known the devastating loss of a child, or if your life simply hasn't turned out the way you thought it would, this one is for you.
