Every year, 26,000 babies are stillborn in America. In 2003, one of them was my son.
They Were Still Born: New Book Givewaway
I received my long-awaited copy of the new stillbirth anthology
They Were Still Born: Personal Stories about Stillbirth on Saturday.
Yes, I'm a contributing writer, and I'm pleased to say my chapter, What No One Tells You is the first chapter in the book. Contributors include Kara L.C. Jones (aka,
Mother Henna), Angie Yingst (
still life 365), Joanne Cacciatore (the
MISS Foundation), and Sherokee Ilse (
Wintergreen Press), among others. The book is edited by the fabulous Janel Atlas who lost her daughter Bea, and has a foreword by Elizabeth McCracken (
An Exact Replica of a Figment of My Imagination).
If you'd like to receive a copy of this book, leave your name in the comments section below, as well as the name of the baby in your life who was still born. Contest will remain open until December 3rd, when I will draw one winner's name out of a hat.

I would love to give this book as a gift--my very dear friend's son Lucas was born sleeping in June of 2006...it's hard to believe that he would be in first grade already...
I would love a copy to donate to my local hospital. I have already purchased a copy and was just enthralled by it. Your chapter in particular was AMAZING.
My daughter's name is Hope and she was born still at 40 weeks 5 days on August 19, 2008.
