Why I Married a Murderer
"Let's Pretend This Never Happened" meets "Orange is the New Black" in this wickedly funny memoir with a glimpse into the life of a woman who had a wonderful wickedly funny childhood, despite an abusive brother and emotionally bankrupt parents. It is filled with wickedly funny memories of the loving men in her life who were complete jerks. There are belly laughs that will bring wickedly funny tears to your eyes, when you realize you are more like her than you care to admit. It is riddled with reality show worthy drama and not-so-wickedly-funny addictions. It has serious and silly stories that are truly wickedly funny and bipolar, going from one extreme to the other... but not really. The author's therapist says she uses 'wickedly funny' way too much. She claims her therapist is nuttier than she is so she refuses to listen to him, but continues to pay him.

Invisible Labours
Tracing women’s experiences of miscarriage and termination for foetal anomaly in the second trimester, before legal viability, shows how such events are positioned as less ‘real’ or significant when the foetal being does not, or will not, survive. Invisible Labours describes the reproductive politics of this category of pregnancy loss in England. It shows how second trimester pregnancy loss produces specific medical and social experiences, revealing an underlying teleological ontology of pregnancy.
