A good read

After my 2nd loss and traumatic emergency surgery that resulted in left fallopian tube loss, this book found its way into my TBR and downloaded into my library. I read it when I had time. Stopping to take notes or soak in the info. Definitely a nice read. I know I'm not alone on this ectopic pregnancy survivor journey.

This is a very good book to read while dealing with the trauma of an ectopic pregnancy. There are few books out there speaking directly about ectopic pregnancy, receiving a salpingectomy, and further losing a pregnancy. Although I do not align fully with what she went through, it is very nice to see how someone else took this tragedy and has healed from it.

It was okay. It was nice knowing I wasn’t the only one to have an ectopic pregnancy. But there were lots of spelling and grammatical errors. Some paragraphs were really long and made it hard to follow.

A sort of love letter filled with practical tools to mend gently. I found this book so helpful and wish I had read it sooner.
