“A heartbeat, then came the news of a son they hoped for and later the diagnosis—words that would cut to the core of her broken heart. Come along as Jenny courageously shares her story of a medically advised abortion and the aftermath that ensued. Through her gift of writing, she pulls the reader into a world she never could have anticipated and join her as she traveled the road called grief.

"Pure, raw truth. Emotionally gripping. A one of a kind story. Jenny Foster's real life vulnerability and courage brings to light the need for elevated open dialogue about abortion without the pursuit of judgement. Instead, she looks only to heal wounds gone unspoken with love, compassion, and grace. Powerful down to the last word."

"Natty's Pond is a beautiful, soulful, loving, candidly raw and spiritually satisfying memoir. It will uplift, comfort, bring hope and some measure of peace to women who are suffering from the pain of abortion. Jenny’s determination to persevere through trauma and pain opened up a beautiful relationship with God and became the basis for her ability to heal and to forgive herself. This is the sacred essence of the power of this book."

"Memoirs about medically advised abortions are rare. Natty's Pond is also rare in other ways. Because Jenny Foster kept diaries, her memoir contains powerful details, most often forgotten or repressed by those who have experienced trauma. Her heartbreaking abortion story is matched by the uplifting narrative of her complex healing journey. Riveting, sensitive, personal, relatable, unforgettable. An important contribution to our understanding of decisions on abortion and its life-changing impact on women and families."
