Two of them were ready to take the leap to parenting by themselves (hence the vials of frozen sperm) but became mothers in other, more traditional means. (I made a boo-boo! Thankfully, one of the authors, Pamela, (wow, an author commented on my review!) was here to correct me - all THREE women were ready and willing to use the donor sperm to realize their dreams of children. Thank you Pamela for your kind correction and your comment! - TM) The women talk about their high and low points along the way. In the end, all winds up well, but there are many obstacles along the way. To be quite honest, I was not terribly excited to read this book. However, once I started reading it, I was interested. I just had to keep turning pages to see what was going to happen next. There are some extremely sad parts to these authors' life stories. You may cry, and you may cry again when you see that these women do finally find that happiness in their lives. I feel that this book is an accurate reflection of motherhood today. It seems a lot of women are waiting longer to start their families. Others undergo failed relationship after failed relationship waiting for the "perfect" mate to be the father to their child. As somebody who was fortunate enough to come upon my mate and family in my twenties, this book was an eye opener. While these women ultimately did gain their "three wishes", they met a lot of heartache and loss along the way. This book helped me realize how blessed I truly am. I would give this book a B. I wasn't thrilled, it wasn't terrific, but it was engrossing and interesting. (  ) tetheredmommy | May 6, 2010 | geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Carey, Beth, and Pam had succeeded at work but failed at romance, and each resolved to have a baby before time ran out. Just one problem: no men. Carey took the first bold step towards single motherhood, searching anonymous donor banks until she found the perfect match. What she found was not a father in a vial, but a sort of magic potion. She met a man, fell in love, and got pregnant the old-fashioned way. She passed the vials to Beth, and it happened again. Beth met man, Beth got pregnant. Beth passed the vials to Pam, and the magic struck again. There were setbacks and disappointments, but three women became three families, reveling in the shared joy of love, friendship, and never losing hope. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
