Kate never doubted that she would be a mother one day. That was until two years of trying to conceive naturally and three rounds of IVF did not bring a child into her life. The reality of infertility brought with it the challenges of adapting to a new life - a life without kids. In 2009 Kate began looking for a book that would provide her with guidance and comfort, but she could only find books on infertility where in the end a child was born and books on life without children that were written by people who had never wanted a child. When You Can't Have Kids is different. It faces the reality of being unable to have children and the emotions, thoughts, and experiences Kate has faced. These include grief, being with children, anger, health, and finding joy in life. The issues are persona to Kate, but many people who are unable to have children will relate to some if not all of them. When You Can't Have Kids is the book Kate wanted to read when she first knew she would never be a mother.
