Some Can Only Imagine by Yennie Fer Self-published author and artist Yennie Fer recounts her tale of pregnancy losses in this eye-opening memoir. Yennie Fer was thirty-one years old when she started her trying to conceive journey. She was always good with children, so she wanted her own. Adoption was always something she had in mind, but she longed for the journey of pregnancy. Her first pregnancy resulted in an unexpected twist. All Yennie wanted was to be like everyone else who had given birth. Surviving an abusive past, she wanted to undo generational trauma. Yennie faced the struggles of PTSD, unhealthy friendships, mental breakdowns, chronic pain, and horrible doctors. At times, she coped with some dark humor. Being an artist and author, Yennie had the personality of someone very silly and kind. (Sometimes too kind.) Multiple miscarriages had changed her to form into someone she didn’t recognize. A crack that led into her villainess era, perhaps? Some Can Only Imagine brings awareness to those who know and don’t know the struggles of pregnancy losses. It can inspire and tear you apart at the same time. Yennie’s battle for recovering mentally and physically wasn’t an easy one. This book forever hit her the hardest, and you might feel that too. Adult • Diversity Representation/Own Voices • Diversity Representation/Mental Health/Own Voices Content Warning: "This memoir contains graphic imagery and writing regarding my miscarriages. The idea of having these is to gain an understanding of the process and potential signs and symptoms of miscarriages. If you have had one or more miscarriages, you may find my book triggering as well. (Or feel less alone.) Nothing about pregnancy loss is pretty. For those who haven’t experienced it: You have been warned. Please read with care and take breaks if you have to. I know I did when I wrote this book." |
