Nonfiction by Heather Harpham.
Heather Harpham begins her memoir with the story of giving birth to a baby girl alone (her partner Brian "didn't see himself a as a father") and then discovering that the baby had serious issues requiring immediate medical intervention. Fortunately, little Amelia-Grace lived, and Brian came around to the idea of fatherhood, but there was still a long road ahead for this little family with a sick baby.
I have mentioned before that memoirs in general are problematic undertakings; writing about oneself is difficult, and most people fail to craft both an honest and interesting narrative.
This was a good memoir.
