I was given this book in return for an honest review. I have never experienced the problem of infertility myself, but have family members and friends that have. I thought I knew, but I had no idea. Whether you have IF or not, you should read this book, I think, unfortunately, we all know someone who has struggled with infertility and this is a book that can educate those of us that don't have problems with it, and encourage someone who suffers from it. It's a book of stories from women who suffer from IF problems and the struggles, mental anguish, stress, and oh lord the medications. I had no idea about the massive and horrible side affects of the medications that you have to take, the multiple procedures, the expenses, the hope, the despair, the strain of family and friends. This book explains it all in layman's terms from the women that have experienced it firsthand. I laughed some and cried some, the things that I didn't know about, shocked me. I have a whole new respect for people that are dealing with infertility issues and am amazed by the strength of the families in this book. The stories touch on a variety of things, IVF, surrogacy, adoption, the miracle baby, and much more. It's an easy book to read because you don't want to stop, you want to read each of the stories and cross your fingers for them, hoping that they get their beautiful baby at the end. I think everyone should read this book, it is meant to be an inspirational book that gives hope to IF sufferers and knowledge to their friends and family. It has succeeded beautifully.
