Emma Bronfman is not having a good week. First, there's her mother-in-law, who is far worse than all those jokes make a bad one out to be. Then there's her husband's infidelity-it happened once before, and she's sure it's happening again. Then there's her grandmother's health, her father's fling with a bimbo ten years younger than Emma, and last but not least, her period. And a dead-end job that has nothing to do with the artistic dreams of Emma's youth, but keeps her grounded in reality. Emma's moods swing from one end of the scale to the other as she battles infertility. Each month, she gets her hopes up only to have them dashed down again. And each month, she thinks "If only…" and "Maybe this month."

Join Emma on her roller-coaster life. The author's main concern--and her expertise--is with Emma's infertility, and she presents a realistic picture of what it's like to undergo fertility treatment, especially from an emotional point of view. Unlike a miscarriage, where the world mourns with the parents, infertility is hidden and, apparently, just as devastating. The dialogue is snappy, and you'll enjoy the characters in Emma's life.
