For 20 years, Dr. Shelley Sella saw patients whose diverse backgrounds and circumstances led them to the same difficult decision: to end their pregnancies. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNow, interweaving her own journey as a provider, Dr. Sella invites readers into a typical week at her clinic to demystify the experience. She shares the stories of people like \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e- \u003cb\u003eClarissa\u003c\/b\u003e, a mother of 2 whose third suffered a massive stroke in utero with no chance of recovery\u003cbr\u003e- \u003cb\u003eMary\u003c\/b\u003e, a devoted Catholic whose fourth round of IVF offered a late-in-life chance at motherhood, only to be dashed by anomalous test results\u003cbr\u003e- \u003cb\u003eLaura\u003c\/b\u003e, a mother to 4 already whose bruised arms tell a painful story, one she couldn't bring herself to write a fifth child into \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eBeyond Limits\u003c\/i\u003e is not just a testament to a standard of care grounded in competence, compassion, and sensitivity. It is also a call for a paradigm shift that moves beyond \u003ci\u003eDobbs\u003c\/i\u003e, beyond \u003ci\u003eRoe\u003c\/i\u003e, beyond limits to provide care. And it is a tribute to the real people whose hearts, reasons, and stories are more complex than politicized conversations about abortion lead us to believe.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Shelley MD Sella\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0807022748\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780807022740\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Beacon Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/26\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.81lbs","brand":"Shelley MD Sella","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48453238948095,"sku":"9780807022740","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_18ca9522-aa6f-455b-b0db-d7fa4081d307.jpg?v=1777299017","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/beyond-limits-shelley-md-sella-9780807022740","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
