Blue Hour Homecoming

Alle Mudrick had dreamt of pregnant bellies and breathless birth photos since she was a little girl. But when her first daughter died at birth and her next two pregnancies ended in miscarriage, she suddenly found herself on the fringes of reproduction, questioning how she could possibly live after such unfathomable loss. Caught in the painful reality that childbearing is fraught with difficulty, but her own survival seemed to depend on having a living child, Alle forged ahead in pursuit of her dreams-a journey that would bring her even further into reproductive trauma and challenge everything she thought she knew about life, death, and love. An intimate and moving memoir, Blue Hour Homecoming is one woman's story of how venturing to the edges of life and back can be wild and beautiful, if only we are brave enough to go there.
