This book provides a very powerful account of the raw emotion and pain that comes from infertility and failed treatments, as experienced by the author Laurel. She writes really well and goes on to explain the frustrations of the adoption process but with the final happy outcomes that made it all worthwhile. As someone about to embark on the adoption process, I found this book both inspiring and reassuring. As Laurel says ‘you don’t need to give birth to be a mother’ – what an amazing line for someone like me to hear. I would recommend this book for anyone in a similar situation.
