Overview:
Elle Wright’s duo of deeply personal memoirs invites readers into a realm that many navigate in silence: the heartbreak and resilience surrounding pregnancy loss and infertility. A Bump in the Road opens with the unimaginable moment when a mother's joy is tempered by the sudden death of her three-day-old son, Teddy, in 2016. What follows is a courageous, unflinching journey through hospital appointments, medical tests, and multiple rounds of IVF as Elle and her husband pursue the possibility of bringing a living child home. The companion volume, Ask Me His Name, continues the story with the long arc of hope, grief, and the inescapable truth of loss as Elle reflects on Teddy’s life and the emotional landscape of motherhood after such tragedy. Together, these two books offer a compassionate lens on infertility, loss, and the stubborn hope that often keeps families moving forward. This set is a valuable, empathetic resource for readers seeking authentic, human-scale memoirs about one of life’s most universal struggles.

What This Collection Covers:
This two-book collection centers on pregnancy, loss, and the arduous path toward building a family. The first memoir foregrounds the immediate aftermath of Teddy’s death—an event that reframes every future pregnancy and every medical decision. The second book widens the lens to encompass the long, winding journey of fertility treatment, the emotional rollercoaster of awaiting results, and the complicated terrain of grief interwoven with hope. The narratives speak to readers who have faced bereavement, infertility, and the emotional toll of medical interventions, while also offering comfort to partners, friends, and caregivers seeking to understand what it means to experience silent, personal losses. With truthful, unguarded prose, the collection balances sorrow with threads of resilience, fortitude, and the moment-by-moment acts of endurance that define the infertility journey.

A Bump in the Road
