She lays out her post-9\/11 fears as she commutes daily to the city, continues to seek passion in her marriage, and wrestles with her feelings about faith and the mysterious gift of happiness. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSometimes sensual, sometimes succinct, always candid, \u003ci\u003eThe Second Child\u003c\/i\u003e is a meditation on the extraordinariness resident in the everyday–nursing babies, missing the past, knowing when to lead a child and knowing when to let go. With a voice sound and wise, Garrison examines a life fully lived.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003eDeborah Garrison is the author of \u003ci\u003eA Working Girl Can’t Win: and Other Poems\u003c\/i\u003e.
