This was the second book I read on my Amazon Kindle. It hit so many of the emotions I have felt in my infertility journey right on the head, giving me a newfound sympathy for people in other types of situations, and also a wealth of information on the options available for those suffering with infertility. It also came from a spiritual perspective which helped me realize that no matter what happens in this life, my Heavenly Father is always faithful! This book is highly recommend to anyone who is walking through the journey of infertility. It will inform you and encourage you all in one reading!
