Publisher Description
If you've ever felt a crumpling in your chest when another friend tells you that they're pregnant… If you've ever wondered why everyone else seems to find it so easy… If you've ever experienced the pursuit of motherhood… This book is for you.
It is currently estimated that one in five couples have difficulty conceiving. Hepburn’s book which describes her long and, at times, heartbreaking journey to have a child has been called a cross between Bridget Jones Diary and Eat Pray Love for the infertile generation.
'After reading dozens of fertility books over the years, I’ve realised how hard it is to get a memoir about treatment right and to tell your own story in a way that other people will actually want to read, but Jessica Hepburn has managed it brilliantly in her book The Pursuit of Motherhood... Whether you’re at the start of your journey or in the middle of treatment, I think you’ll find something for you in Jessica’s book.'

'I started the book a few hours ago and have just finished it… I couldn’t stop reading. I love it. The honesty wrapped in engaging writing with a liberal dose of humour is awesome. I want everyone to read it so people can really understand what the journey is like.'

'A much needed, honest, moving and compassionate book. At times laugh-out-loud funny, at times incredibly touching, I know it will be of such help to many people.'

'I have just read The Pursuit of Motherhood in under 24 hours, I could not put it down. It felt like having a long intimate conversation with the author or having stumbled across her diary and once you join her on the rollercoaster ride of trying, and failing, to start a family, you are desperate to see if there is a happy ending. This book is heartbreaking, informative, inspiring and funny! An excellent read for anyone experiencing infertility or for anyone who wants to understand a little of what it is like.'

Pursuit of motherhood
Gripping and heartwarming. A true representation of the pursuit of motherhood
Heart warming
I got this book at the start of my IVF treatment to read while I do my procedure, I couldn’t put the book down, although it took my entire week to read because my husband kept asking me why am I so intrigued with this book. I had to attend to his time aswell, so every quiet moment I get i grab the book. The ending was left a bit disappointed because I would love to know if the mushroom work or not. So it would be good to read a sequal to it.
The pursuit of motherhood
I couldn't put this book down I read it within a day, absolutely fabulous insight to the Journey for the pursuit of a successful pregnancy, as someone who has unexplained infertility this book is highly recommended.
