"An amazingly moving and emotional story that any woman or any
parent can easily relate to." Jennifer Hamilton, Editor, Canadian
Family magazine Expecting Sunshine is a multi-award-winning memoir
and a Kirkus Review BEST INDIE BOOK of 2017 Anyone who has
experienced-or knows someone who has experienced-miscarriage,
ectopic pregnancy, stillbirth, or other forms of pregnancy and baby
loss should read Expecting Sunshine, including those considering or
already pregnant again. After her son, Zachary, dies in her arms at
birth, visual artist and author Alexis Marie Chute disappears into
her "Year of Distraction." She cannot paint or write or tap into
the heart of who she used to be, mourning not only for Zachary, but
also for the future they might have had together. It is only when
Chute learns she is pregnant again that she sets out to find
healing and rediscover her identity-just in time, she hopes, to
welcome her next child. In the forty weeks of her pregnancy, Chute
grapples with her strained marriage, shaken faith, and medical
diagnosis, with profound results. Glowing with riveting and
gorgeous prose, Expecting Sunshine chronicles the anticipation and
anxiety of expecting a baby while still grieving for the child that
came before-enveloping readers with insightful observations on
grief and healing, life and death, and the incredible power of a
mother's love. Letter from a reader: I just finished your beautiful
book Expecting Sunshine and felt compelled to reach out and say
thank you. A few days after I found out I miscarried, a few days
before my D&C, I went to Barnes & Noble in hopes of finding
a guidebook or self-help book of how to heal and cope with
miscarriage or loss of a child. I searched every feasible location:
self-help, psychology, family planning, childcare. With tears in my
eyes I was too embarrassed to ask anyone at the counter for help.
There I was already utterly heartbroken and feeling more alone than
ever. Not a single book for me to turn to. I pulled out my phone,
googled "books about miscarriage" and found your book and ordered
it on the spot. It must not have been easy for you and your family
to share your story, but I hope you know what an impact you've had
on me and likely so many other women. You've given me so much hope
for my year ahead. -Katie Rhodes, Oakland, California
