This book means well, but misses the mark for women who are infertile and over 40.
It is written for young women/couples who will likely become more than their infertility, but IT DOES NOT speak to those of us who will never have a child of our own in our arms. It is sappy, although on page 10 she claims not to be. The worst thing is that it begins with all these stories of people who have children. It's a self help book for those undergoing the medical third person conception, NOT for those who are grieving the ultimate loss of childlessness. In the 22 years I've been married, it has only recently been allowable to grieve my infertility. The taboo was so strong no one talked about it. Now it is too late for me. This is nice for newly weds, and is NOT the first crisis of my marriage, I've taken lots of yoga/breathing classes and I don't want to hear all the feel good stories of the happy moms who WERE ONLY TEMPORARILY INFERTILE.

The book is good, the title resumes very well the content.
However, I expect more and on the end, the author try to sell more things and I think it diminishes credibility. (Review Data Last Updated: 2008-11-28 02:33:08 EST)

Infertility issues often also impact those close to the those dealing with infertility. I have recently faced the fact that since my own children will never have children, I must learn to deal with a life without GRANDchildren. This book, which brings such empathy and understanding to the issues of grief and loss, has helped me to rethink those generational hopes and dreams that have gone awry in my life. Readers might share this helpful book with other family members who may be sensing their own feelings of loss as it can provide some common ground on which to meet and support each other.

I am an acupuncturist that specializes in infertility and I love this book! I have read many books on infertility and many of them leave women (and men) feeling disconnected and uninspired. This book has very practical tools and inspires us to see all of life as divinely ordered. This book is for the person who is willing to let go of being the victim of any situation, and truly open up to embracing all of life.
What a wonderful opportunity! (Review Data Last Updated: 2008-03-06 00:35:35 EST)

What a practical, power giving book full of real life ideas for those who feel powerless. I heartily recommend this book to anyone struggling with infertility or to anyone who loves someone who is struggling with infertility. I agree with the review above........a good read for anyone who wants to live well no matter the circumstances.

There is a lot of media hype about fertility issues right now; I think it can be really difficult to find helpful advice. I was really surprised to discover this book not only applies to working through fertility struggles, but many different things. Even my husband read it and actually started using some of the practical steps! I also think it is a very peaceful, encouraging read. It can help you create some sanctuary in the midst of a hectic or frustrating season of your life. I highly recommend it!
