Um, but specifically, the miscarriage story, which is in the essay, um, called The Red Tree, that was one that originally I was not thinking of as part of the manuscript.
Jenna BrackGUEST
I had written that in a workshop with Exhale Creativity, which is a, um, group of mothers and artists, and I think I was just curious about exploring those months of my life.
Jenna BrackGUEST

Jenna BrackGUEST
