Borrowed Babies

Jill Christman’s memoir, Darkroom: A Family Exposure, explores her investigation into the history of infants used as "practice babies" in college home economics departments before the 1960s, while also reflecting on her own experience of pregnancy and what it means to become a mother. Award-winning and published by Shebooks, the audiobook offers a thoughtful, factual look at a hidden piece of history intertwined with personal discovery. Christman, a respected writer and educator, brings a nuanced perspective to her storytelling, blending historical inquiry with her own journey into motherhood.
