Summary: It's about all those difficult emotions - both his and hers...
Comment: Take this book for what it is...one couple's account of the challenges they faced whilst battling with infertility.
It is honest and emotionally charged and includes both the wife's and the husband's seperate, at times very different, personal accounts of their shared quest for a baby - which is refreshing.
This book is ideal for any couple experiencing infertility on any level, because of the candid way it tells the story, of the two very different ways, in which both the wife and the husband in this relationship deal from day to day with the desire for a baby, trying to conceive, infertility, the pressure which is put on their marriage, and the emotional rollercoaster they both ride in the process.
Because of this, this book is relevant. It matters not how long they were trying to conceive, where they were trying to conceive, how old they were, how they went about it or what treatments they had in the process. What matters is, that in this book, both husband and wife deal openly with emotions that thousands of couples every day experience in their quest for a baby, and the very different way men and women feel, behave, think, cope and deal with this very sensitive issue.
Read it, then give it to your spouse to read, it may help you both understand each other a little better, and may help you to talk more candidly yourselves.

Summary: This book gives me hope!!!
Comment: From the moment I started reading this book I could hardly put it down...needless to say, I read the whole thing in 2 days!! I loved the way the story was told from the female and male point of view with alternating chapters. I laughed with them and I cried with them. I felt a connection with these people. They give me much hope in my quest to have a baby!

Summary: A vivid, frank, appealing story of a modern relationship
Comment: This husband and wife open their souls to tell a fascinating, at times funny, at times utterly tense story of their quest for a child. The book is bold in its emotion and full of memorable images of two people struggling to maintain their individual integrity and their deep affection for each other while being torn apart by forces within and beyond their control, such as their level of desire for a child and the medical system in this country. Falkneresque in its narrative style, the book challenged me to pay close attention--the authors demand to be seen as individuals. The book reminded me of An Unquiet Mind, by Kay Redfield Jamison, Ph.D., in which she offers readers, in brutally blunt but often amusing detail, the story of her own life with manic-depressive illness to educate others about a universal story.

Summary: A poignant, absorbing, and compelling memoir.
Comment: This memoir is not just a valuable account of one couple's struggles to become fertile parents, but an unflinching and honest account of a marriage and relationship. The varying perspectives of wife and husband, told in alternating chapters, provide a compelling flow to the story. From the opening page I was hooked and could not put the book down, marveling at the absorbing writing, and the poignant, wrenching, and sometimes even humorous narrative of their experiences. Beautifully written; highly recommended.
