Publisher's Summary
Making babies. For some, it’s virtually effortless – an accident, a “happy surprise”, or an easily executed plan. But for others, this almost universal drive to start a family does not come quite so effortlessly. In fact, for many, it’s can be a frustrating and expensive quest that in some cases never pays off, leaving them childless. These people dearly want what many of us barely give a second thought: having a baby. To start a family. To be a parent. And these people will go to remarkable, at times almost unbelievable lengths, to do just that. Carry On is about those people.
Carry On documents, in strikingly poignant detail, their epic plights, giving voice to and celebrating their wholly unique journeys. Whether you’re already a parent, trying desperately to become one, or find yourself somewhere in the middle, Carry On is an authentic, compelling, and relatable collection of essays based on first-person interviews with some of the most determined people in the world. Carry On is a collection of honest, raw, sometimes heartbreaking, and sometimes hopeful stories about the struggle many people face while on their road to parenthood. These are stories about infertility, adoption, surrogacy, egg donation, miscarriage, stillborn, infant death, and much more.
Carry On is a very human story, one that crosses all cultures, religions, ethnicities and genders. The light at the end of the tunnel is a fervent hope to one day hold a little bundle of joy. Many of the dear people in this book achieve this goal. A few sadly do not. Carry On focuses on all these stories, and offers strength, guidance and hope to all of us.
