Powerful and Personal
4 Feb 2007
Format:Paperback
This anthology is a powerful read for all women, those who have experienced miscarriage themselves and for those who have not. It is a celebration of women, their strength, and their common experience. Having suffered two miscarriages myself, this was the first time I have read something that put so many of my feelings into words and validated them for me. In an experience that can often make you feel all too alone, this book can help you to realize that you are not. Thank you for writing so beautifully on such an important topic.

Wonderful!
10 Jan 2007
Format:Paperback
About What Was Lost begins a discussion that is long overdue. So many women suffer in silence after a miscarriage...How wonderful that we can now turn to the pages of Jessica's anthology for much needed support. These stories a varied and provide different perspectives but all speak to the sacredness of womanhood. Excellent!

Couldn't even finish it
16 Mar 2010
I lost my first child at 10weeks 3 days just about 2 months ago. I have bought at least 10 different books now on the topic of pregnancy loss and found this one to be the only one that I just couldn't relate to at all. There was too much talk of abortion in the book. I fought for my baby every step of the way and just don't feel like the topic of abortion has its place at all in a book on pregnancy loss. I can't completely explain what it was about this book that upset me so much other than the abortion topic being brought up every time I turned the page. Now I did only read half the book so I admit by review may not be very reliable. It just felt to me like most of the writers were trying to diminish the fact that miscarried babies are still babies and we grieve just the same as if we'd lost our 2 year old. It just seemed like all the women that I read about got over their losses very quickly and I don't think that is the case 9 times out of 10. I came out feeling worse every time I picked up this book so I finally put it down for good. Maybe it gets better later on.
As for a book I do recommend (and one that I felt I could relate to every single woman in the book) was called Miscarriage: Women Sharing from the Heart by Allen and Marks.
