Notes
Description
"This explosive, intersectional collection of essays, fiction, poems, plays, and more, explores the universality of human reproductive experiences, as well as their distinct individuality. An enlisted sailor must choose between her military career and keeping an unexpected pregnancy. A mother of three decides to become a surrogate, but is unprepared for everything that happens next. A trans man's pregnancy forces them to approach their key relationships in a new way. A woman's choice to live a child-free life is put to the test when her husband's dying wish is for them to become parents. In their own unique and unforgettable way, each of the twenty-eight contributors responds to our crisis of access to care in ways that are at turns haunting, heartbreaking, and outright funny." -- page [4] of cover.
