One Good Egg: An Illustrated Memoir

Autor Suzy Becker
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 13 aug 2014
For the first twenty-three years of her life, Suzy Becker was sure she would have at least two babies. Then it took another fifteen years to decide to go ahead and have just one.One Good Eggis the funny, warmhearted story of her journey to fertility and becoming a mom, illustrated throughout with hundreds of her clever and charming cartoons.Suzy Becker found professional success in her twenties, and by her thirties, she decided she had everything she needed-the home, the savings, the friends, the family, and the gumption-to have a baby alone. At age thirty-nine, she joined the ranks of the six million women who need medical help to conceive. InOne Good Egg, she chronicles her travels through the maze of fertility treatments, constantly considering and reconsidering how far she was willing to go, inwardly convinced none of it would ever work. She learned she was pregnant on her way to tape an essay for NPR, and five months later married her true love. You cannot adequately prepare for certain realities, like giving birth or parenthood, but withOne Good Egg, Suzy Becker provides the perfect companion for her readers' own journeys to motherhood and beyond.

Recenzii

Talking ovaries, cranky uteruses, and Blinky the embryo--Suzy Becker brings mirth to birth.
Suzy Becker is a comic genius.
Suzy Becker's ONE GOOD EGG drew me in from the very first page; it was love at first sight. From ambivalence to a single, best answer, Becker takes us with her from deciding to have a child, a rocky journey to parenthood, and then the sweet aftermath. You won't want the book and its cartoons to end (and may end up turning the last pages a few extra times just to sadly check that there is nothing more to read).
