This review is from: Miscarriage: A Shattered Dream (Paperback)

This book is compassionately and sensitively written. It is clear and concise, especially for a woman who is grieving the loss of a baby through miscarriage. It has been an instrument of healing for hundreds of women I have cared for and counseled. It also is a wonderful information guide for those who desire to know about miscarriage.
