A wonderful book, funny and touching, harrowing and sweet. (Anne Lamott, author of Bird by Bird on I Had Brain Surgery, What’s Your Excuse?)

[A story of] tenacity, renewal, and the process of learning, for the second time in one's life, to laugh. (O, The Oprah Magazine on I Had Brain Surgery, What’s Your Excuse?)

Touching and very funny.This book is bordering on essential for both moms-to-be with flagging fertility and for lesbian couples hoping to become parents, but is an absolutely beautiful book about love and determination that will be enjoyed by a wide variety of readers.
