"What a relief it would be to have this wise, compassionate, honest, practical guide to navigate the frightening, often disappointing challenges of fertility treatment. This is especially true because Barbara Blitzer writes in her own voice, which feels like having the assistance of a caring, understanding presence, not a distant authority on the subject of fertility. Blitzer's attention to the whole person makes it more likely that couples will come out of this experience gaining personally, whatever the outcome of the fertility effort." --Ann Ladd, PhD, LCSW, director of The Connecting Place in Pueblo West, CO
