This book has the facts you need to know whilst being emotionally deep and uplifting, Caroline has managed to produce a creative work of art that builds a bridge between medical fact and personal experience, it is absolutely fantastic, emotionally captivating and well worth a read. For me this book is about breaking taboos and making the "unacceptable acceptable, both as a broachable subject in today's silent society and also in terms of the emotional turmoil that ensues as a result of stillbirth, making it easier to mourn this kind of loss as normally as we would for any other loved one and remember them proudly rather than as an impermissible blip to be swept under the rug and never spoken of again. People don't really know much about things like stillbirth, Pre-eclampsia or HELLP syndrome until they actually happen as Caroline herself discovered, making it difficult to talk about and thus taboo. This book covers these topics in various forms, so there is something that everyone will understand and find useful and interesting; she opens with a discussion about how various topics are handled in today's society, leading her to discuss her own story, as well as the facts and important information surrounding Pre-eclampsia and HELLP syndrome. She also explores the emotional side of things through poetry and creative writing, she can really put you in her shoes and help you to feel as if you were there with her, experiencing it as if the emotions and the story were your own.
