āMy work offers a window into the darkest and lightest corners of peopleās lives, into the extremes of human experience,ā writes Dr. Chavi Eve Karkowsky in High Risk, her timely and unflinching account of working in maternal-fetal medicineāthat branch of medicine that concerns high-risk pregnancies. Whether offering insight into the rise in home births, the alarming rise in Americaās maternal mortality rate, or the history of involuntary sterilization, Karkowsky offers a window into all that pregnancy, labor, and birth can entailābirth and joy, but also challenge and lossāillustrating the complexity of reproductive life and the systems that surround it. With historical insight and journalistic verve, Karkowsky unpacks what is involved for women, for a family, and for us as a society; and explores whatās at risk when these aspects of medicine remain clouded in mystery and misinformation.
