Simona's struggle with infertility is a stark contrast to all other facets of her life at which she excels with remarkable facility.  But despite the flurry of (often unsolicited) public opinions professing that relaxation, positive thinking and unwavering commitment will “do the trick” they prove ineffective in what has become an unconquerable battle to conceive.  Faithful to her entrenched biases about assisted reproduction and alternative parenting options, Simona is forced to reevaluate her position, reexamine entrenched "truths" and negotiate her "new" identity in a society still bent on maintaining a shameful silence in the face of denied biological rights. 

Experiences such as IVF, social alienation and being subject to her Grandmother’s “advice” on how to have sex all take Simona on a desperate, sometimes-hilarious and agonizingly truthful journey that will help readers grow in their understanding of a human experience that may or may not be within the realm of their own.  

Perhaps you are facing the challenges associated with infertility.  If not, someone you know, know of, love or work with needs you to read this book.  The heavy veil of shame that continues to drape infertility must be lifted, bringing light and understanding to a disease that has doubled in the number of North Americans it affects.  This is only one story among many but it represents yet one more voice speaking out amidst the silence.
