mutatismutandisSummary: Jean and Scott learn just how fragile the world can be.
You know, a miscarriage--the loss of a child in which no one is to blame--can kill a woman's soul.
Jean knows.
She knows the thin line a woman walks, the one between hating and loving herself, remembering and letting go, guilt and absolution. Jean has tucked it all inside of her, folded the shadow of the burgeoning mass of cells deep within her psyche as a flower pulls its petals in at night.
I love the language and the structure of this story. It offers a painful insight into Jean and Scott as they try to put their lives and their relationship back together.
