I picked this book up because of the topic but it was so much more than an infertility story:it was a great chronicle of one womans growing up.When I was done I felt I had made a new friend and was sad to put the book down.

Or about to run out of time all together? Then this book is for you...or anyone else who loves suberb memoir writing. We need to keep hearing from Bates Alden on a regular basis. She has important things to tell us.

I had no idea that some women go through such a protracted, painful process to bear children. Oh, I knew not every one of us conceived at just the "right" time and that some of us had to "work" at becoming pregnant but I had no idea what the emotional toll was on women who had to make a conscious effort to conceive. Ms. Alden has written a novel of her experience in that area and through it all kept her sense of humor and her sense of self. I'm happy for her and proud of her fortitude.
