The Card: Five of Diamonds
The list I’ll be reading in 2020.
The Story: “Welcome to Your Family”  from Polly Rosenwaike short stories collection “Look How Happy I’m making You“.  The collection is about pregnancy, new motherhood, infertility, miscarriages and abortion. Also how to deal with a newborn. “Welcome to Your Family” Is about Alice the newborn and her parents who decided to invite the whole family to celebrate Christmas and see the baby for the first time.
Quotes I liked:
But the details are everything, as Tracy’s constantly reminding the high school students in her English classes. The details are what count. Without details, you can’t expect people to care about anything you have to say.

**************************

And then, ah—there it is. That face, returning. The most familiar thing, and still for now, for that reason, the most interesting thing, the most pleasing thing. She looks and looks as if she can’t get enough, as if her mother’s face tells her everything she wants to know.
My Rating: 4 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐
I read this story for #DealMeIn2020 reading challenge.
