I had so hoped that the book jacket comment - reflections on infertility, family, and creating a bountiful life- would be an accurate representation of what I would read. It was not to be. Yes, lots of blood. Endless renditions of blood spillage. Thoughtful self analysis? Revelations of inner emotional conflicts? Nope. Don't waste your time, instead pick up Unbroken Spirit by Gilbert John, a Navajo man, made a quadriplegic after a truck accident at age 17.
