- Request: "I recently received a book from a publicist to review, and am participating in a blog tour for the book at the end of this month. The book is An Exact Replica of a Figment of My Imagination by Elizabeth McCracken. She wrote this memoir about her experience losing her unborn child while she and her husband were living in France. She talks candidly about her sorrow, her grief, how she felt when she became pregnant again, etc. It's a beautiful book. I am looking for mothers who have experienced the loss of a child. Miscarriage, stillbirth, etc. The "when" of the child (or children's) death is not the deciding factor of who to include. I would accept anyone. [My goal is to include] personal reactions to some of McCracken's comments in the book. If you would like to participate, I can be reached at antonette@ameritech.net with "McCracken blog" in the subject line."

I think I can pick up a lot of useful information from this site.
Hi,
First the site is pretty slow to load...just mentioning it because you asked.
Also I was wondering if anyone had heard anything about Mary Ellen and Steve? Are they doing okay since they lost their triplets?
