<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>In spite of the fact that 1 in every 115 deliveries is a stillborn baby, stillbirth continues to be a taboo subject. In <i> Life Touches Life, </i> Lorraine Ash describes how she met that silence head-on. After a trouble-free pregnancy, her baby was declared dead on what was to be her date of birth. Following a C-section, Ash fought a fever that raged at 104 degrees and almost succumbed to the silent B-strep infection that had killed her daughter. Devastated by the experience, Ash sought solace and perspective in all the old places and found little relief. In this moving account she discusses the inner changes she faced after the stillbirth of her daughter, delves into spiritual questions that shook her soul, and examines the connection between mother and child that transcends separation and death.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Although 26,000 babies are stillborn in the United States every year, stillbirth continues to be a taboo subject.
