This is the story of two women with the same wish - to be a mother. Lou is in a serious relationship with her partner Sofia. When Lou finds a lump which leads to surgery she realizes that if she is going to have a baby she better get started. Unfortunately Sofia is not so keen to have a child. So she has to make up her mind if she can do this motherhood thing on her own - and she also will need a sperm donor. Cathy is a woman in her early forties. She and her husband, Rich, have wanted a child so badly but Cathy had cancer and now she is infertile. The only possibility for either of them to realize her dream is to take a chance. Lou can't afford the fertility treatments. Cathy could carry a child, but needs eggs from another woman. The story seemed to be true to life concerning the fertility problems. Although their circumstances are totally different, both Cathy and Lou are going down the same scary path. I assumed when I began the book that they were going to meet, support each other and become best of friends. It's not like that at all.
