The characters and plot here show here are but only a piece of the story. What is seen is a struggle between two people trying to go toward a common goal, but each of them internalize the hardship differently. Pregnancy takes two, but for Kate, the job is more internally laborious as she must carry the child, she must go through labor, and her diet must change.

The man in her life still struggles, but in a more external way. He worries about being a man, about feeling good about what he does because he knows it isn't as much as others are able to do.

The problem I had with this excerpt was that there was nothing that made the story as exciting as I thought a thriller would be. Other than that, it was interesting as it is, but does not show at all the story given by the blurb.
