Natty's Pond
Finding hope and forgiveness after a medically advised abortion
Natty’s Pond is a true story of surviving a second-trimester abortion that was deemed “medically advisable” due to poor fetal prognosis. The consequences of this decision were unexpected, grave, and altered the course of the author’s life and health for twenty years. This tender story poignantly illustrates the life-altering post-abortive symptoms that can protract the grief process. The book is profoundly honest about how shame is often magnified within the faith community, leaving parents of the unborn alone in their pews, dealing with the emotional and behavioral entanglements of anxiety, depression, PTSD, and other spiritual roadblocks. This memoir offers hope for the silent sufferers and bridges important gaps between those who have endured abortion and those who can only imagine.

Reviews
"By speaking truth with grace, this book accomplishes the impossible. It gently builds a bridge between the fiercely opposing sides of the abortion issue. Jenny Foster is a brave author to invite readers in to the deepest parts of her heart and expose the most vulnerable part of her life journey. Because it is a memoir, the authentic pain of the issues involved is palpable. The book is well written, and hard to put down. Gut wrenching, honest, compelling, captivating... I highly recommend this book. It's one of those books that stays with you." Karen F.
"Jenny's poignant journey of grief, loss, and ultimate peace, serves as a bridge for anyone who has ever had to face this heartwrenching situation, no matter what our previous ideas on the subject may be." Wendy H.
​
"The pain, incredible and long-lasting grief, and final healing reveal that the line between pro-life and pro-choice is not as well defined as the current cultural divide would make it." Jude H.
​
"Jenny Foster displays her brilliant writing style, mixing strength and reliance to take us on the journey of her heartbreaking loss. However a pregnancy is ended, and whatever the reason, consequences remain. Jenny honestly looks at the after effects of losing a child, and offers insight for others. Bravo!" Britt I.
