The early weeks of her first pregnancy are a mixture of joy, anticipation, and uncertainty as she and her husband prepare for the journey ahead. Then comes a devastating loss.

But as he spirals ever deeper into Amanda's illness, his own homelife crumbles as his wife, Marissa, struggles to cope with her own loss. Marissa's unique and, some may think, macabre work is her salvation, but it's pulling her further and further away from Patrick. As the two couples confront the fraught intersection of science, death, and human emotion, they venture into the darkest corners of each other's lives. What they find there could change them forever.

2017., General, Random House Call No: Bio L668r Edition: First edition. Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: "A darkly humorous memoir about a woman overcoming dramatic loss and finding reinvention, as well as a portrait of a generation used to assuming they're entitled to everything. In 2012, at age 38, when she left on a reporting trip to Mongolia, Ariel Levy thought she had figured it out: she was married, pregnant, successful on her own terms, financially secure. A month later, none of that was true. In gorgeous, moving, humorous, sharp, and unforgettable prose, Levy describes her own ill-fated assumptions: thinking that anything is possible, that the old rules do not apply; that marriage doesn't have to mean monogamy; that gender and sexuality are fluid; that aging doesn't have to mean infertility. A story about realizing that life is so often beyond our control, and how we forge ahead despite that. A portrait of our time, of the shifting forces in values, women and gender in American culture. Based on her New Yorker article "Thanksgiving in Mongolia". Ariel Levy is a staff writer at The New Yorker magazine"--Provided by publisher.
