This review is from: The Rollercoaster: A Country Couple's Ride with IVF (Paperback)

This book describes the journey of the author and her husband through several attempts of IVF treatment. I felt privileged to share in the hopes, the excitement,the joys and the disappointments that were so eloquently described. "Rollercoaster", must surely bring comfort to other couples enduring the stresses of infertility treatments,if only to realise that they are certainly not alone,in experiencing the emotional turmoils that are so brilliantly expressed in this book.
