Lucy Knisley's latest memoir is about her very difficult pregnancy. For her whole life she's wanted to be a mother, but when Lucy and her husband finally decide it's time, her pregnancy is fraught with difficulties, stress and problems. She is very sick most of the pregnancy and the delivery is not easy either, with many complications.
From exploring the side effects of birth control, through more than 1 miscarriage, morning sickness and the dangers of pre-eclampsia, Lucy Knisley covers it all in this frank and honest testament to motherhood and women's reproductive health. Not just her personal story, Lucy also addresses the history of pregnancy, myths and superstitions, misinformation, cultural situations etc. It's all there. A very interesting read, but I feel the audience is older than high school. Fans of Knisley's other books will love this one, too.
