It's also Heineman's unexpected tale of the loss of a newborn: before burial, she brings the baby home for overnight stays. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDoes this sound unsettling? Of course. We're not supposed to hold and caress dead bodies. But then again, babies aren't supposed to die. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn this courageous and deeply intimate memoir, Heineman examines the home-birth and maternal health-care industry, the isolation of midwives, and the scripting of her own grief. With no resolution to sadness, Heineman and her partner learn to live in a new world: a world in which they face each day with the understanding of the fragility of the present.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elizabeth Heineman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1558618449\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781558618442\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Feminist Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/18\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.50w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/11\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/15\/2014","brand":"Elizabeth Heineman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43996333539583,"sku":"9781558618442","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c26a8ead-82e0-4348-980e-94f936694949.jpg?v=1683341086","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ghostbelly-elizabeth-heineman-9781558618442","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
