Michael's Cry

by Rachelle M.N. Shaw

When a new mother gives birth to her baby boy, it isn't the blissful journey she'd imagined. Even with the encouragement and loving support of her husband and mother, she struggles to develop a bond. Her lack of self-esteem and feelings of inadequacy weigh on her, leaving her heartbroken and numb. It wasn't supposed to be this way. Yet each day is filled with more dread than the last, and daily tasks have become a battle.

With another life depending on her for survival, there's more at stake than ever. If she fails, she may lose her chance to bond with her son forever. And her husband may never forgive her. Will her love be enough, or will guilt consume her?
