Monica Murphy LeMoine is used to writing postcards from strange,
faraway places. After years of traveling around the world with her
Peace Corps sweetheart-turned-husband, she finds herself on a
blissfully ignorant journey toward new parenthood. But when the
pregnancy ends before it's supposed to, Monica is abruptly launched
into a different kind of world that nothing in life has prepared
her for. It is up to Monica to navigate this strange land of
almost-parenthood, make sense of her own confusing grief for real
and imagined lives lost, and-ultimately-learn to move forward
without someone she loves. A memoir told in postcards, Knocked up,
Knocked Down is about finding solace in the most surprising places
when life knocks you to the ground. And if you have ever lost a
loved one, this uplifting story will help you move upward, too.
"Monica Murphy LeMoine worked all over the world with the Peace
Corps and grew up in a family that never had time to 'sit around
and wallow.' She never comes close to that in this deeply and
darkly funny, anti-trauma memoir. Refusing to accept the grief
package defined by well-meaning counselors who said she'd never
recover, this book calmly and firmly replies, 'bull#@%& "
-Christina Gombar, prize-winning author, Literary Editor for
Exhale, and reviewer for Bookslut and London Review of Books.
