Dust Jacket:
Infertility stinks. No one knows that better than Megan. After six years of insanity-inducing hormone drugs and desperate prayers, all she has to show for her efforts are enough negative pregnancy tests to fill a bassinet. All around her women are accidentally getting pregnant—like her star piano student—while Megan remains hopelessly barren. Megan’s never felt so alone. But she’s not the only one struggling. Christina has just entered the world of infertility, made worse by the fact her husband isn’t ready to be a father. Their marriage, already hanging in the balance, is being torn apart. Then there’s Kyra, the mother of a precocious three-year-old. She’s shocked to be struggling with secondary infertility. A baby is priceless, but sometimes Kyra feels like she’s being forced to choose which commandment to keep: stay out of debt, or multiply and replenish the earth. When Megan and Christina are assigned as Kyra’s visiting teachers, they all realize that what you see isn’t necessarily what’s beneath the surface. Some secrets aren’t worth the cost of keeping them.
My Review: 4 Stars
This is a story of three different couples struggling with their own stories of infertility. The couples range from being open, to closed about it. I loved being a fly on the wall in the lives of these couples. Not everyone's stories and struggles are the same but we can still draw support from one another.
I thought this was a pretty good book. It is very emotional. I felt like I was able to relate to the feelings of insecurity and the turmoil you feel when you trying to do something righteous and you cannot control the outcome. We have all been there in some way on some level. This book grows empathy for others.
I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to understand more or relate to infertility.
