Eleanor Henderson Books in Order

After a teenager's accidental death in Vermont, Jude, Eliza, and Johnny seek refuge and purpose in late-1980s New York. The hardcore music scene offers a new way of living, but their shared secret threatens the bond holding them together.

Edited by Eleanor Henderson and Anna Solomon, this collection gathers thirty women's personal accounts of childbirth. Writers describe labor and delivery in varied settings, offering candid reflections on fear, joy, pain, surprise, and the beginnings of parenthood.

In 1930 Georgia, a white sharecropper's daughter gives birth to babies with different skin colors, and a Black field hand is lynched after an accusation of rape. As the family raises the children, hidden connections unravel its account of events.

Eleanor Henderson recounts her long marriage to Aaron, from their teenage meeting through parenthood, depression, addiction, and a baffling chronic illness. Her memoir explores the demands of caregiving and the difficult persistence of love when medical answers remain elusive.
