Like a miracle, Luc has come into Stéphanie's life. They haven't been together for long when she gets pregnant. The question whether to keep the baby is easily resolved: they are ready to be a family.
But what Stéphanie is not prepared for, is the rollercoaster of emotions: from being two to three, the changes in her body, the sleep deprivation, the mood swings.
Through Stéphanie's journey and the women she meets, many subjects are tackled: baby blues, jealousy, sexuality, heredity, obstetrics, sleepless nights, the reasons good or bad to be a mother...
And in the background, a battle: the right of every woman to dispose of their own body.
- An openly feminist book. Getting pregnant, giving birth, breast feeding are political acts. Every woman should have a choice without enduring the medical diktats.
- The title refers to the dark vertical line that might appear on the abdomen of pregnant women.
Sophie Adriansen has written 20 books both for adults and children.
