Pregnancy loss is a devastating experience that affects millions of women and families each year. Yet, it is often a taboo topic, shrouded in secrecy and shame. In her powerful and moving book, Mother Story, author Emily Rapp Black shares her own story of losing her son, Ronan, at 23 weeks gestation. Through her raw and honest account, Black explores the profound impact that pregnancy loss can have on women and their families.

Black begins her story by describing the joy and excitement she and her husband felt when they first learned that they were expecting a baby. They had been trying to conceive for several years, and they were overjoyed to finally be pregnant. However, their joy was short-lived. At 23 weeks gestation, Black went into labor and delivered a stillborn son. Ronan was born weighing just one pound, and he lived for only a few hours.

Black's account of Ronan's birth and death is both heartbreaking and inspiring. She writes with raw honesty about the pain and grief she experienced in the wake of her loss. But she also writes about the love she felt for her son, and the strength she found in the face of adversity.

Mother Story is a must-read for anyone who has experienced pregnancy loss or knows someone who has. It is a powerful and moving book that sheds light on the often-overlooked experience of pregnancy loss. Black's story is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, and it offers hope and healing to those who have lost a child.
