I have never met Pamela Mahoney Tsigdinos, but she asked me to review her book because, as a medical journalist, I have written extensively about infertility. I doubt she knew that I shared with her a personal history scarred by infertility treatments and failures. Her book was hard for me to read because it brought back a lot of my own pain, which I wrote about on my blog ( http://bit.ly/8MlnZ7 ) - but it also gives validation, offering rare insight into how infertility patients often feel silenced and poorly understood. They are the silent sorority - and fraternity - whose suffering is often very isolated because the fertile world cannot relate. Silent Sorority is a brave book and a gift to all infertile couples, whatever stage of the journey they may be on - whether their personal journeys finally end with a child or without.

The only book I've read that openly addresses the raw emotions associated with infertility. It's a brave and well-written book that you will likely read in one sitting.

Overview
2010 Team RESOLVE Choice Best Book. Silent Sorority reveals with candor, humor and poignancy the intense and at times absurd experience of adjusting to a life as a "non-mom" when nature and science don't cooperate in the family building department. Snappy and irreverent as well as moving, this book offers a contrarian point of view in an era of mommy blogs, designer babies and helicopter parents.
