Description
With humor, courage, pain, and joy, the writers in this collection of personal essays and fiction share the same dream - the wish for a child. Here they reveal their complicated but mostly successful journeys, whether they involve surrogacy, in vitro fertilization, pregnancy after multiple miscarriages, or adoption. Also included are inspiring accounts of families that defy the traditional definition, from homes with same-sex partners to those with single parents or stepparents.
