Blue Hour Homecoming - Paperback

by Alle Mudrick (Author)

How do we continue to live after unfathomable loss? This debut memoir takes a situation that most find incomprehensible-life after the death of a child-and turns it into universal wisdom on how to live whatever life you've been given.

Alle Mudrick had dreamt of pregnant bellies and breathless birth photos since she was a little girl. But when her first daughter died at birth and her next two pregnancies ended in miscarriage, she suddenly found herself on the fringes of reproduction, questioning how she could possibly live after such extreme loss. Caught between a body not built for childbearing and her own desperate need to have a living child, Alle forged ahead in pursuit of her dreams-a journey that would bring her even further into reproductive trauma and challenge everything she thought she knew about life, death, and love.

An intimate and moving memoir, Blue Hour Homecoming is one woman's story of how venturing to the edges of life and back can be wild and beautiful, if only we are brave enough to go there.
