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.
