Conceiving of You: A Father’s Letters to His Unborn Child

E. Christopher Clark and his daughter Kaylee, on the night she was born

Book Synopsis

Over the course of the 41 weeks his wife was “doing the real work” of pregnancy, author E. Christopher Clark wrote a series of letters to his unborn child. These are those letters, unedited, unabridged, and, in many cases, unapologetically sappy.
