One for sorrow, two for joy...

When Jennifer Lane finally fell pregnant she and her partner were overjoyed. But it was not an easy pregnancy and her journey towards motherhood was, in the end, a journey of loss. In the wake of her traumatic grief and physical recovery, Jennifer - a practising green witch - was left questioning everything.

Trust your intuition, they say. The universe has your back, they say. But what if the worst thing that could happen did? What good were intentions, spells and rituals then - when a woman's pregnancy can end, a baby's life can be taken, with the same brutality as a fledgling's.

In this period of struggle the extraordinary mysteries of a women's fertility and the need to reconcile with our animal natures, to connect with the other inhabitants of this world, became crucial to Jenn.

This beautiful, healing and comforting book is for anyone who ever struggled with pregnancy or motherhood and is struggling to find solace in a world of people.

Reviews for Underwing: A Story of Motherhood, Loss and Wild Intuition

'Jennifer Lane writes with clarity, honesty and care in a beautiful honouring of her daughter and of her experience of grief. Underwing will make those of us who have experienced stillbirth and miscarriage feel seen. Lane guides us through what it can mean to have a deep connection with nature severed and then slowly reformed - I am glad to read books that redefine writing about nature and Underwing does this so well' Sally Huband, author of Sea Bean PRAISE FOR JENNIFER LANE 'Jennifer Lane casts a kind a contrary nature spell over her readers, full of glitter and acorns, fire and firecrests' Derek Niemann, Guardian 'Jennifer's passion emanates from the page, pulling the reader in so that we begin to look at the trees around us through her eyes, with that child-like sense of wonder. A joyous and magickal experience' The Folklore Podcast 'Jennifer Lane's writing is sincere, tender and rich with wonderment, empowering her readers to resist a conventional existence and look deeper into the heart of nature' Tiffany Francis, author of Dark Skies
