"Motherhood Lost is a beautiful and passionate book. In this insightful ethnographic investigation, Linda Layne weaves together the intersecting religious, biomedical, consumerist and familial practices that surround and construct pregnancy loss in contemporary America. This moving book enables us to understand the cultural construction of silence and forgetting that has too long accompanied the grief of miscarriage and stillbirth, beckoning us to recognize and remake a world in which women's losses can be remembered." - Rayna Rapp, author of Testing Women, Testing the Fetus: The Social Impact of Amniocentesis in America and Professor of Anthropology, New York University
