Knocked Up, Knocked Down Postcards of Miscarriage and Other Misadventures from the Brink of Parenthood

Monica Murphy LeMoine is used to writing postcards from strange, faraway places. After years of traveling around the world she finds herself on a blissfully ignorant journey toward new parenthood. But when the pregnancy ends before it’s supposed to, Monica is 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 learn to move forward. 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.
