Wow, this book was fantastic! Everytime I thought I had something figured out, another layer was added. It can be very heavy at times, and the themes can be difficult to read and to sit with. Even with that, I finished the book in 3 sittings over just 36 hours. You NEEDED answers. Had to see what was coming next. Meagan Church managed to weave in important topics on the shared experience of motherhood and healthcare all while telling a very compelling story.
