review: Editorial Reviews Review "Page by page, Lisa holds your hand with gentle, unflinching support, openly sharing her story with you, and giving you permission, guidance, and gentle queries that help in your journey of healing." ~ Tracey Cleantis, author of The Next Happy: Let Go of the Life You Planned and Find a New Way Forward "I wish Manterfield's book had been available a decade ago. It would have been a valuable lifeline, a tremendous support at a time there was nothing available for women lost in a maze of fertility treatment promises and murky what ifs." ~ Pamela Mahoney Tsigdinos, author of Silent Sorority "A comforting book, full of practical help for women who wanted to have children and are trying to move past the overwhelming panic and grief that comes with realizing it's not going to happen. I wish I'd had a book like this when I was 40." ~ Sue Fagalde Lick, author of Childless by Marriage "If you're newly coming to terms with this, or if you've been living this life for a decade or more, or if you have a friend or family member you want to help, you will find belonging, food for thought, and further hope for a future, wonderful life without baby." ~ Linda Rooney, Founder of No Kidding in NZ About the Author Lisa Manterfield is the creator of LifeWithoutBaby.com, the online community that gives a voice to women without children.
