Book“I wanted so desperately to find even just one woman who tried to dig up her baby from his grave... just one other woman who was filled with anger, abandonment and isolation... just one other woman, well... who fought to get through this journey from hell and who refused to bury her child a second time, with her silence.

I found more than one. This book is those women’s stories.” ~ Paula Long
