She lays out her post-9\/11 fears as she commutes daily to the city, continues to seek passion in her marriage, and wrestles with her feelings about faith and the mysterious gift of happiness. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSometimes sensual, sometimes succinct, always candid, \u003ci\u003eThe Second Child\u003c\/i\u003e is a meditation on the extraordinariness resident in the everyday-nursing babies, missing the past, knowing when to lead a child and knowing when to let go. With a voice sound and wise, Garrison examines a life fully lived.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Deborah Garrison\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0812973887\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780812973884\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Random House Publishing Group\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.19lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.02h x 5.16w x 0.32d","brand":"Deborah Garrison","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47244014747903,"sku":"9780812973884","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a1c78843-fe11-4cd8-b2e7-a2080b85ec64.jpg?v=1758134723","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-second-child-deborah-garrison-9780812973884","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
