Bingo!

This is the only book I've ever read in my and my husband's five-year struggle with infertility that gets at the real emotional trauma of never being able to give life to a child. The author is a writer (not all of them are), and thus is able to capture in words experiences felt so deeply through emotions. She expresses what my husband and I, and others like us, have felt but can't or don't say or doubt is true, even for themselves. It provides the validation we're all missing in a society doesn't and in families and among friends that don't recognize how the losses of permanent infertility alter your life forever. Some might find the author's strong feminist voice a little off-putting and dated, but the messages are still clear. The author writes only from the woman's perspective, though my husband read the book too and found it validating. He is a writer, and I am an editor, so our review stems from some professional experience. Read the book and grieve; your losses are real.
