Description
Alice Jolly's personal account of her search for an alternative way to create a family is both humorous and hopeful. When her second child was stillborn and subsequent attempts to have another baby failed, she began to consider every possible option, no matter how unorthodox. As she navigates the challenges of miscarriage, IVF, and failed adoption attempts, Jolly finds comfort in the faded charm of Britain's crumbling seaside towns. Her journey ultimately leads her to a small town in Minnesota, where she meets two remarkable women who offer to make the impossible possible. Through her beautifully written book, Jolly describes the events that many others have lived through - often feeling compelled to keep them hidden. Instead, she chooses to share her story without self-pity, turning it into a universal tale of tragedy and joy.
