Baby Dust: A Novel about Miscarriage and Stillbirth

by Deanna Roy

Overview

The five women sitting in the circle of chairs all had great dreams of motherhood --until their babies died.

Melinda sees blood on the floor every day after her loss. Dot believes the wrath of God caused her baby to die.

Teenage Tina is trolling internet dating sites for a father for another baby, and Janet's failure to cry means her wedding is off. Stella, the support group leader, must help them while facing the old choices that cost her ever having a family of her own.

Based on the stories of dozens of real survivors, Baby Dust is a moving tribute to the strength of mothers who must endure this impossible loss.

Editorial Reviews

Absolutely stunning, compelling, and unlike any other book related to pregnancy loss that I have read. The author, Deanna Roy, has taken stories of loss and turned this book into a novel. This is real life.

When you hear a woman’s heartwrenching story, she normally leaves out great detail. This book tells it all; the truth of what women go through before, during and after a pregnancy loss. Very touching novel and the writing is fantastic. I could not put it down.

Founder of Pregnancy Loss Remembrance Day - Robyn Bear

Baby Dust sheds a light on the all-too taboo subject of miscarriage in a raw, compelling, and incredibly realistic way. Women who have experienced a loss themselves will surely resonate with the characters in the book...

Miscarriage is something that directly affects literally a quarter of the women in America, yet it’s rarely spoken about. I am so happy that through Baby Dust, women who have suffered through pregnancy loss will find validation that they are not alone.

Faces of Loss, Faces of Hope - Kristin Cook

This book is a MUST READ. Once I started reading the book I wanted to keep reading it until I finished. I became involved in each of the characters and hoped for them like I do for any of my baby loss friends.

Caring for Carleigh

This book is different than anything I have ever read before about the loss of a baby… Grief isn’t painted as a pretty picture in this book, but as something that is real and that affects far more women than people realize or care to acknowledge.

Dead Baby Club

Set around a support group of grieving mothers-would-be, Deanna Roy speaks on the torment that many women face when they lose what they value most. “Baby Dust” is an excellent and much recommended read.
