A really powerful memoir on motherhood and the “code” to both becoming and being a mother. I think this is a great read for anyone who is considering having children in the future, regardless of if they’ve previously given birth. The author talks about many different paths to conception, as well as the logistical, financial, social, mental, and emotional implications of each. While this is a memoir, many other memoirs and books are quoted which both adds validation to the author’s experience and defends the universality of the journey to define oneself as a mother.
