Book description
When Kasey Edwards discovers she'll be infertile within a year, she
is forced to bring the baby issue to the forefront of her mind. In
30-Something and the Clock Is Ticking, she explores what
having a child would mean to her identity, her career, her body, her
relationships and her mental health.
Kasey speaks to people who have children and people who don't, women
who claim motherhood is the best thing they've ever done and those who
say it's the worst. She discovers how the desire for a baby can drive
people to the brink of insanity, the logistical challenges of
ovulating and trying to conceive on a longhaul flight, the indignity
and despair of IVF and the price of buying sperm on the Internet.
This witty memoir will make you laugh, cry and ponder the joys and
regrets of motherhood. It will inspire you to tackle the baby issue
head-on and on your own terms, rather than letting time, denial and
social pressures make the decision for you.
Kasey Edwards is also the author of
30-Something and Over It
. She has written for numerous publications and recently became a
mother.
