An Exact Replica of a Figment of My Imagination by Elizabeth McCracken 921 McC

Ms. McCracken is a successful novelist. She never thought she would get married and that was okay with her. Of course she meets another writer and falls madly in love. This is the story of her early marriage and her first pregnancy. The baby died in the ninth month and she had to go through labor to deliver him. It is a heartbreaking story. I am just going to quote from the book cover because it explains the book in the best way. "It is a story of true love and unfathomable sadness. It is a story of courageous recovery and bittersweet moments, of steadfast memories and deep affection. It is a story of the importance of friendship. It is a story of happiness and of hope." Definitely not a book for everyone, but it is well-written and very touching
