About the Author:
When Elisabeth Rohm started blogging about her family for People.com, she had no idea how many women would respond to her stories about struggling with infertility. Now the actress best known for her role on Law and Order shares what she hasn’t yet: the full story of how in-vitro fertilization allowed her to have a child, how talking about infertility helped her cope with it, and how her desire for a baby and the difficult path that led to one taught her about herself and made her into the woman she was meant to be.
Rohm’s stories—told in a clear, funny, warmhearted voice—cover her untraditional childhood, and her long journey to motherhood. With the frankness of Down Came the Rain and the hope of A Place of Yes, Röhm encourages all women to share their stories because “when women stop talking, women stop being heard.”
Having never been through infertility, this book was an eye opener! I have known women who have had troubles, but Elisabeth Rohm puts into perspective just how easy it is to get wrapped up in "not talking about it."
There is such a stigma on age and where you are at socially and within your career that many tend to put off having kids. Elisabeth does a wonderful job explaining in a lighthearted fashion her struggle and worries about becoming a parent, as well as being a parent.
This isn't just a book about babies and the hardship with infertility. She talks a great deal about her life as a child, an actress, and much more. Well rounded, you get the "big" picture surrounding her decisions and reasons.
4 out of 5 stars for this book!
