Synopsis

Cassidy Morgan's life has always followed a carefully laid track: top education, fulfilling career, and marriage to the love of her life. The next logical step was starting a family. But when a late-term miscarriage threatens to derail everything she's worked so hard for, she finds herself questioning her identity, particularly what it means to be a mother. Unable to move past her guilt and shame, she realizes there's more to fix than a broken heart. Grief illuminates the weaknesses in her marriage and forces her to deal with her tumultuous relationship with her own mother. Cassidy hopes her work as a veterinarian specializing in equine reproduction will distract her from the pain, but she instead finds that one of the cases she's working on shines a spotlight on the memory of her unborn son. For once in her life, shes left untethered and wondering why she wanted to become a mother in the first place. Then the unexpected happens: Cassidy becomes pregnant again. But joy over her baby is tempered by her fear of another loss as well as her increasingly troubled marriage. Now, she must decide whether to let her pain hold her back or trust that there's still something to live for. What We Carry is a thought-provoking response to the author's own miscarriage and lack of fiction surrounding the topic, which she and many other women in her situation crave.

Sometimes you desperately want to love a novel simply for its storyline. But whether you love a novel or not depends on so many factors, including your state of mind while reading it. I think I picked up this book at the wrong time. It has a lot going for it, but I couldn’t connect with it as much a......more

Goodreads review by Kalyn on May 28, 2021

I wrote this book following my own late term miscarriage. As I worked through my own grief, I realized miscarriage is not often spoken about head-on in literature, even women’s fiction. Considering 1 in 4 women will experience pregnancy loss in their lifetime I decided to tackle the issue in my debu......more

Goodreads review by Jennifer on August 04, 2021

A realistic fiction about pregnancy and miscarriage. Something none of us wants to talk about. This was also about the layers of our life like marriage, family, grief and joy. This was an audiobook for me and it was narrated by Käthe Mazur, Xe Sands; Holter Graham; Kitty Hendrix. They were awesome a......more
