Conception
Penny Alexander
dedicated to her two young daughters, this book is a gesture of gratitude and celebration to those greatly overlooked formative moments during those initial short days: when a woman is rarely aware of her condition. much focus is on the latter stages of pregnancy, but this book looks instead to the timing and odds of these natural processes—unseen, unfeeling and a secret to all but our voiceless reproductive system.
