Review


Winner of the 2010 Team RESOLVE Choice Best Book Award

" ... a rare jewel."

" ... one of those books you just can't put down."

About the Book
From celebrity and news magazines to TV programs to Facebook pages and "mommy blogs," family-building successes are routinely and glowingly shared and celebrated. But where are the voices of those who are unable to have children? In relating what happens when nature and science find their limits, Silent Sorority is irreverent as well as moving.

Outside of the physical reckoning there lies the challenge of moving forward in a society that doesn't know how to handle the awkwardness of infertility. With no Emily Post-like guidelines for supporting couples who can't conceive, most well-intentioned "fertile" people miss the mark. Silent Sorority offers an unflinching and insightful look at what it's like to be invisible in an era of designer babies and helicopter parents.
