Description: "With crossed fingers, Laura waits for the results of yet another dollar store pregnancy test. In an empty classroom, Jen unfolds a note containing an unexpected offer. With a full bladder, Amy listens impatiently for the beep of her basal thermometer. From her home computer, Ginger studies a child's grainy image as it slowly appears on the screen. After the third baby shower of the month, Grace drives directly to the liquor store. Through the chaos of infertility and their pursuits of a family, these women find themselves counting on hope and each other. Their candid accounts of their diverse adoption experiences help illustrate their unstoppable drive to be mothers"--Page 4 of cover
