This was one of the hardest books I have read this year. In terms of the abortion debate people rarely think with compassion of those with differing views. That's a huge problem in the abortion debate. 

These essays deal with a more difficult issue in our society. The choices of parenthood are often thought of to be only joyous. Often though their is a lot of heartbreak around these decisions which people are made to feel ashamed of. It's rare, though maybe it will change, to see this discussed. As a reader opening that conversation was so important. 

Thank you so much to the editors and essay writers for sharing their stories.
