This book is an account of Robyn's personal journey battling infertility. It covers a three-year period and there are no-holds barred. It’s full of personal prose. Perhaps you will cry, hopefully you’ll laugh… much like she learnt on what felt like a road to nowhere. There’s a little bit of everything. The very beginning where she embarks on the process to conception, to the hardcore realities of undergoing fertility treatment, and the life changing outcomes – favourable or not.
