DESCRIPTION & REVIEWS

A beautiful, healing book for anyone who has ever struggled with pregnancy loss and recovery, and is looking for symbols of hope in the wider, wilder world.

When Jennifer Lane finally fell pregnant, she and  her partner were overjoyed. But it wasn’t an easy pregnancy, and her journey towards motherhood  was, in the end, a story of loss.

In the wake of her traumatic grief and physical recovery,  Jennifer – a practising green witch – was left questioning everything about her beliefs.

Trust your intuition, they say.  But what if the worst thing that could happen does?

As she grieved, Jennifer turned to the mysteries  of our animal natures, witchcraft and women’s fertility  for understanding and comfort. This beautifully written  account of finding solace in the natural world offers  companionship through loss, and a sustaining path to joy and hope.
