Summary:
So much more than a memoir about trying to conceive. The situation in which Boggs found herself has become increasingly common and is thus likely to resonate with a large readership. Having long put any thought of motherhood on hold--using birth control and focusing on her writing, career, husband, and the other priorities of a life without children--she figured that she would get pregnant when it was time. And when it was time, and then it seemed like time was running out, she couldn't...But this deeply empathetic book is about more than one woman's challenge; it's about the whole scope of maternal urges, of how culture (and literature) treat the childless (or “childfree”).
