About this ebook
Though one in four pregnancies ends in loss, miscarriage is shrouded in such secrecy and stigma that the woman who experiences it often feels deeply isolated, unsure how to process her grief. Her body seems to have betrayed her. Her confidence in the goodness of God is rattled. Her loved ones don't know what to say. Her heart is broken. She may feel guilty, ashamed, angry, depressed, confused, or alone.
With vulnerability and tenderness, Adriel Booker shares her own experience of three consecutive miscarriages, as well as the stories of others. She tackles complex questions about faith and suffering with sensitivity and clarity, inviting women to a place of grace, honesty, and hope in the redemptive purposes of God without offering religious clichés and pat answers. She also shares specific, practical resources, such as ways to help guide children through grief, suggestions for memorializing your baby, and advice on pregnancy after loss, as well as a special section for dads and loved ones.

Grace Like Scarlet" by Adriel Booker -help me navigate my heart and acknowledging the validity of emotions while intertwining them with unwavering faith in God. One of the book's strengths lies in its ability to normalize the struggles many women face in reconciling their emotions with their faith. It not only validates the rollercoaster of emotions but also imparts a renewed sense of hope and a deeper understanding of God's boundless grace and love. It serves as a reminder that, despite the storms, faith endures, and God's love remains unwavering.

This book has helped me navigate through my grief after our baby boy was stillborn. I would recommend it for anyone who want to brave the hard task of facing your pain instead of running from it.
