The Art of Waiting: On Fertility, Medicine, and Motherhood by Belle Boggs

4.0

After thinking about this book a few days I had to come back to give it another star - it really sticks with you in some ways. It is well written (the author is a writing teacher), but it was the combination of personal experience and historical and biological facts that made it powerful. The ways in which she explained and then carefully deconstructed our notions of "natural" in relation to motherhood, family, and pregnancy make it both more relatable and more challenging.
