Silent Sorority: A Barren Woman Gets Busy, Angry, Lost and Found

From celebrity and news magazines to TV programs to Facebook pages and mommy blogs, family-building successes are routinely and glowingly shared and celebrated. But where are the voices of those who are unable to have children? In relating what happens when nature and science find their limits, the award-winning memoirÂ Silent Sorority examines a seldom acknowledged outcome and raises provocative, often uncomfortable questions usually reserved for late night reflection or anonymous blogging. Outside of the physical reckoning there lies the challenge of moving forward in a society that doesn't know how to handle the awkwardness of infertility.

With no Emily Post-like guidelines for supporting couples who can't conceive, most well-intentioned "fertile" people miss the mark. Silent Sorority provides an unflinching and insightful look at adjusting to a new path, and offers a steady voiceÂ rarely heardÂ inÂ the noisyÂ era of designer babies and helicopter parents.

Silent Sorority received the 2010 RESOLVE Award for Best Book. It's also included as a recommended resource in the 2011 edition of Our Bodies, Ourselves.
