As a journalist she has written for Vogue, the Guardian and the BBC, promoting the wider health benefits of nature, birdwatching and living in tune with the land.

'Jennifer Lane writes with clarity, honesty and care in a beautiful honouring of her daughter and of her experience of grief. Underwing will make those of us who have experienced stillbirth and miscarriage feel seen. Lane guides us through what it can mean to have a deep connection with nature severed and then slowly reformed - I am glad to read books that redefine writing about nature and Underwing does this so well' Sally Huband, author of Sea Bean
