Finally a voice of reason. I really struggled with this book. I found myself focusing on/feeling angry about her turning her back on what already was in her life: a stray cat, a non-biological child, non-perfect dogs, etc. The memoir did not make me feel sympathetic to her -- and I certainly could not relate to her quest to be a "parent." Thanks for your review. Finally a voice of reason.

I read it today, and I found the whole thing more than a little chilling. It was like the baby was some weird proof of her personhood, and without that she would have no identity. Not very nice.

I hate pointing out the flaws in people's memoirs, or true stories of tragedy. At the same time, if you can't be bothered to do a good job of it, hire someone else or just leave it alone. …I’m kind of creeped out just reading the review.
