Crybaby Infertility, Illness, and Other Things That Were Not the End of the World

"Cheryl and her partner, Sofie, are thirty-something Angelenos who are excited to become moms. Cheryl is prepared to shoot herself up with fertility drugs, fill out reams of adoption paperwork, whatever it takes. Like so many good middle-class kids, she was raised to believe she could do anything if she just worked hard enough. She's not prepared for all the ways that miscarrying twins will strain her marriage and reignite grief from her mother's cancer death years earlier. Strangely, these events do prepare her-a little bit-for her own breast cancer diagnosis at age 35, and for the emotional roller coaster of the open adoption process. Empathic, lucid, and often humorous, Crybaby is the story of a failed perfectionist and successful hypochondriac who, in pursuit of queer motherhood, begins to redefine what that means-and who she is"--.
