You Might Feel a Little Pressure

When Mary Adkins became pregnant with her second kid at thirty-nine, she was thrilled. Instead of a smooth pregnancy, she'd lose three pregnancies over nine months, a journey that would lead her to question more than just her fertility. Having long believed that hard work equals success, she found herself facing an ideological crisis: If sheer effort couldn't produce her greatest want- another baby-where did she go from here? And if she couldn't control this, what else was out of her control? Honest, insightful, and even funny, You Might Feel a Little Pressure explores how an unfulfilled dream can change what we think we know, and grief can lead to places brighter than we imagined.
