The Unfamiliar - A Queer Motherhood Memoir

An unconventional, unexpectedly funny, brutally honest memoir about infertility, pregnancy and motherhood ''You and your partner want a baby. But your two bodies can''t make a baby together.'' If you want a baby but your body says otherwise - If you don''t know the polite way to say thank you for the sperm - If you''re waiting for the sound of a brand-new heartbeat - If you know it takes a village to raise a baby but have no idea who should be doing what - If you''re lurching between bliss and bewilderment - If you don''t fit the shape of what you''ve been told a mother should be - Reach for The Unfamiliar and don''t let go. Moving and immersive, and written with wisdom, disarming humour and raw honesty, The Unfamiliar casts a fresh eye on motherhood and challenges our assumptions about pregnancy, gender roles, queer identity and what it means to be a parent.
