Birth defects are one of the leading causes of infant deaths each year. Regardless of the severity, any flaw associated with a newborn deeply affects every member of the family. FINGERNAIL MOON (MAMA'S JOURNAL) takes you through the most severe of such cases. Prenatal testing reveals that the Beam family's unborn child has a birth defect that is incompatible with life. Unselfishly, the family decides to carry their child to term. Inevitably, painful days follow as this family now has to plan for a birth & a death at the same time. What sets this story aside from any other is that it is told through the eyes of the daughter, Grace. You will laugh & you will cry as she takes you through her family's joys & sorrows. Most importantly, you will realize how pregnancies like this one affect each member of the family, & how much love can be shared through such an ordeal.
