Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
How do women directly impact one another with the personal secrets they share? Anna, a writer who is pregnant with her first child, explores this question when she finds that she is a magnet for the private, tender stories of the women around her - strangers and family alike. Incisively written and deeply empathetic, The Long Answer lays open emotional dynamics around female friendship, sisterhood, and grief, fueled by women's shared experiences of pregnancy, abortion, miscarriage, and infertility.

"A young woman gathers intimate stories about pregnancy, motherhood, and the nature of female relationships, in this profound and provocative novel"-- Provided by publisher.
Twelve weeks pregnant for the first time, Anna speaks to her sister on the other side of the country and learns she has just miscarried her second child. As this loss strains their bond and complications with Anna's own pregnancy emerge, her tenuous steps towards motherhood are shadowed and illuminated by the women she meets along the way, whose stories of the children they have had, or longed for, or lost, crowd in.
