I saved this in my inbox until I had time to write a real response. I really like this investigation of mothers and children--wanted, not wanted ones and everything in between. Seems like a great start to me. (As the mother of sons, I'm particularly interested in that dynamic--and some of my fiction interrogates the potentially fraught relationship: from the healthy to the inappropriate to the absolutely taboo.) On another note, I'm happy to find an "Una"--one of Hawthorne's daughters. A friend of mine has a new niece. My friend is Cuban and said she couldn't understand naming a child "One," ha.
Yes, please keep writing with these people.
