"A few months after Myriam Steinberg turned forty, she decided she couldn't wait any longer to become a mother. She made the difficult decision to begin the process of conceiving a child without a partner. With her family and friends to support her, she picked a sperm donor and was on her way. But Myriam's journey was far from straightforward. She experienced the soaring highs and devastating lows of becoming pregnant and then losing her babies... Unafraid to publicize her experiences, though, she found that, in return, friends and strangers alike started sharing their own fertility stories with her. Although the lack of understanding and language around fetal loss and grief often made it very hard to navigate everyday life, she nonetheless found solace in the community around her who rallied to support her through her journey. Through it all, Myriam remained hopeful and here she unflinchingly shares her story with wry humour, honesty, and courage."--… (plus d'informations)
Myriam Steinberg shares the wonder and misery of her marathon journey to motherhood, from choosing to be a single mother in her forties through fertility issues, increasingly invasive conception techniques, and multiple lost pregnancies. She details her evolving spirituality and increasing appreciation of family and community.
The art is graphic at times and the story can be quite distressing. ( )
I have never been pregnant. There is infertility issues with my husband and I. Yet, we never pursued the details or were financially stable enough to try IVF, cryopreservation, or other methods. As years went by, we have made peace that we have no children of our own; except for our fur kids.
While I did not go through any of the same experiences Myriam did; I still felt bonded with her and her story. This is one of the most personal memoirs I have read in a long time. The concept of this being a graphic novel style was good. Myriam got to the point with her story without being over wordy. Other people who have went through any of what Myriam has will really relate to her book. ( )

Once upon a time, I ran a festival named the In the House Festival. I had a fantasy: I'd meet the perfect guy, fall in love, and -- above all -- have a baby, seamlessly blending motherhood with my career of running the festival.
