I finished this with just a couple days to spare - and I'm just now getting it blogged. Busy, busy, busy!
This is a true story of a woman's journey through IVF and trying so desperately to become pregnant; to be a mother.
She talks about her struggles with many emotions. She's older and knows her chances of becoming pregnant are pretty slim, but that doesn't stop her from trying again and again.
She finally accepts that being a mother isn't in the stars, for her. I can't imagine how that must've felt, but I can imagine the heartache. My own heart has been heavy, of late. My arms have been feeling quite empty. I don't know if another baby is in the stars, for me, but I dream about it. I usually have a baby girl, but it's someone else's. Anyway, that's a post for a different day. Or a different blog. ;)
I found it hard to like this book; maybe because I can relate to her pain? I don't know. I thought she sounded rather dismal, throughout. Maybe I'm being insensitive. I have no doubt this was a very difficult and depressing time, for her. It was brave (and probably a little therapeutic) to share this experience with the world. I hope she has found happiness.
