Publisher's summary

After receiving the news that in vitro would be her only hope for biological children, award-winning poet Emily Adams had to learn to live in a new world of needles, embarrassing tests, long waiting periods, and expensive doctor appointments.

In this beautiful and touching book of poems and essays, Emily tells the story of the diagnosis and the chaotic years that followed. Despite the many instances of disappointment, she learned how to continue to hope. Emily Adams weaves a powerful and compassionate story for any woman who is desperately trying to conceive but can't.

Audio version is awful!

The lady does not even take a breath in between sentences. It’s like one long run on sentence after another. It gave me a freaking headache to listen to it. I imagine the material might be helpful but I’ll never know because I’m not going to finish it!

sound quality was poor and narration felt forced. in combination, the overall performance felt robotic.
