Reviews
"A frank, smart, poignant-without-being-sentimental story collection." --Curtis Sittenfeld, Los Angeles Times "[A] debut collection of stories that should be required reading for all women of childbearing years. . . . Precise, quirky and magical." --Cathy Alter, The Washington Post/The Lily "Armed with wit, tenderness and candor, Rosenwaike helps obliterate any taboos that may still exist surrounding the tribulations of women's reproductive lives." -- People (Book of the Week) "A beautifully written and beautifully conceived series of stories about, well, conception--about the harrowing and mundane and profound ramifications of trying to extend the species. Among the thousands of books for prospective and new parents, I doubt any will make you feel more understood and less alone than this one." --Anthony Doerr, author of All the Light We Cannot See "Whatever your stance on becoming a mom, you'll want to read this book." -- Bustle "The stories in this collection of short fiction explore every facet of motherhood--fertility, pregnancy, the baby-years, the flipside (childlessness), and more--treating the most intimate details of women's lives with ruthless attention and tender care." --Mary Laura Philpott, author of I Miss You When I Blink "Offers a candid look into one of the most intimate choices a woman can make with humor and heart." -- Glamour "I rejoiced in this collection. A radical, unflinching cycle of stories that radiate with truth and depth and care. I could weep for how good it is to see such rich, profound narratives about women's reproductive lives. Happy tears." --Elisa Albert, author of After Birth "This polychromatic assortment of fictional tales plumbs the wonders and woes of the maternal." -- "O," The Oprah Magazine "Rosenwaike's stories turn the idealized Madonna view of childbearing on its head." -- Ms. "[Rosenwaike] captures what it is to be a mother, a would-be mother, an almost mother or a not-mother with such clever perceptiveness making the stories recognizable, familiar and strangely comforting." -- The Independent (UK) "Rosenwaike fully inhabits the interiority of [her characters]--and though they reside in overlapping spheres, each is distinct in her desires, jealousies, fears, and hopes." -- Buzzfeed "Deeply resonant. . . . An exquisite collection that is candid, compassionate, and emotionally complex." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "Striking. . . . Rosenwaike's edgy stories are endearingly honest, excruciatingly detailed, and irresistibly intimate, expertly depicting what motherhood means to millennials." -- Publishers Weekly "Rosenwaike's remarkable prose conjures emotions so effectively that readers will feel pulled into the characters' lives." -- Booklist
