Marsha Donner’s book, Mending Abortion Trauma with Presence: a journal and guidebook into the canyon of silence (FriesenPress $18.49) addresses the often-unacknowledged trauma of terminating an unplanned pregnancy, highlighting the emotional numbness that can result from the silence and lack of support surrounding the experience. Through poignant stories and reflective writing prompts, it invites readers to process and heal at their own pace, offering a journey of self-compassion and emotional restoration. The book emphasizes that, while the emotional consequences may linger, facing them in a supportive environment can lead to personal reclamation, mending emotional fractures, and opening new possibilities for healing and growth. 9781038307804
