Synopsis
Strong values, unshakable faith, excellent educations, successful careers, loving families, two cats and a dog. This was the life Jenna and Mike had built for themselves. They were living the American Dream. The only pieces missing were the children to run in the manicured yard and the toys scattered throughout the four bedroom home.
Infertility first seemed to be a minor obstacle in an otherwise peaceful existence. After four years of treatments including a series of invasive tests, two intrauterine inseminations, four in vitro fertilizations, two frozen embryo transfers and one miscarriage, the obstacle became nearly insurmountable. In this poignant memoir of their journey, Jenna and Mike recall their experience together. In an honest and empathetic series of journal entries and vignettes, this piece of writing paints the unmistakable face of infertility. More than this, they offer some pointed suggestions from their journey to help the loved ones of infertiles provide support and comfort along the way.
łThis should become mandatory reading for every friend, acquaintance and family member of all who suffer from this disease.˛

June 07, 2007: I first heard about Jenna's book through a message board that we are both members of. Jenna puts into words what I could not. Going through IVF is hard...knowing you are not alone in your struggle makes it a tad bit easier. This is a must read for all those who are dealing with infertility...whether directly or indirectly. Jenna ~ thanks for having the courage to put your story out there.

May 30, 2007: Reading this book made me truly understand the difficult emotional ups and downs of infertility. Although I've never experienced the disease myself, I can imagine the heartbreak and heartache of not being able to conceive. When reading Jenna and Mike's story, I felt so sad for them and their situation as it seems so unfair. Yet at the end of the book, I felt very hopeful for them because of the incredible love and respect they share for one another. I appreciated Jenna's honesty, especially her advice about giving advice to infertile couples! Everyone should read the book so they will know how well-meaning comments can hurt someone so deeply. By writing about her isolation and sadness, Jenna is helping other women understand the issues that come with the disease of infertility. Read this book so that you can be a good listener and friend to those you know who are experiencing what Jenna has gone through. If you are infertile, read the book so you know you are not alone.
