A laugh-out-loud memoir about a free-spirited, commitment-phobic
Brooklyn girl who, after a whirlwind romance, finds herself living
in a rickety farmhouse, pregnant, and faced with five months of
doctor-prescribed bed rest because of unusually large fibroids.
Aileen Weintraub has been running away from commitment her entire
life, hopping from one job and one relationship to the next. When
her father suddenly dies, she flees her Jewish Brooklyn community
for the wilds of the country, where she unexpectedly falls in love
with a man who knows a lot about produce, tractors, and how to take
a person down in one jiu-jitsu move. Within months of saying "I do"
she's pregnant, life is on track, and then wham! Her doctor slaps a
high-risk label on her uterus and sends her to bed for five months.
As her husband's bucolic (and possibly haunted) farmhouse begins to
collapse and her marriage starts to do the same, Weintraub finally
confronts her grief for her father while fighting for the survival
of her unborn baby. In her precarious situation, will she stay or
will she once again run away from it all? Knocked Down is an
emotionally charged, laugh-out-loud roller-coaster ride of survival
and growth. It is a story about marriage, motherhood, and the risks
we take.
