Description
Avalanche: A Love Story by Julia Leigh is a deeply personal and unflinching account of one woman's journey through the IVF clinic.
At 38, Leigh embarked on a long and costly quest for motherhood, navigating the science of fertility treatment, the impact on her relationships, and the seductive promises of the multi-billion-dollar industry.
This candid and often humorous memoir reveals the highs and lows of hope, disappointment, yearning, and desire, offering a unique insight into one woman's struggle to reconcile the idealised promise of IVF with the harsh realities of treatment.
