Book description
Carey, Beth, and Pam, have good luck in their friendships and careers,
but terrible luck in relationships. Which makes it more difficult to get
what they truly desire: children. And time is running out. Carey is the
first to abandon the traditional path to motherhood. She decides to go
it alone, and buys eight vials of his sperm from the perfect donor.
Maybe it's newfound confidence from taking control of her destiny. Maybe
it's sheer coincidence. But on the day the vials arrive, she meets a man
online. They fall in love. And she gets pregnant the old fashioned way.
Carey passes the vials to Beth, who has just recovered from a wrenching
divorce. But before she can use the vials, Beth meets a man on an
ice-climbing trip. She too falls in love. And gets pregnant. So she
gives the vials to Pam. Pam will never stop searching for the love of
her life, but she's ready to be a single mother. Then the magic strikes
again. Is it lucky sperm? Or shared hope, determination, and resilience
that pave the way to these happy endings? Despite soured relationships
and crushing losses, three women become three families, revelling in the
shared joys of love, friendship, and never giving up. Carey Goldberg
is the former Boston chief of the New York Times who is currently
writing from home and developing her website. Beth Jones is a writer and
educator whose next project is a novel. Pamela Ferdinand is an
award-winning freelance journalist who has written for the Washington
Post, Boston Globe and the Miami Herald.
