Expecting Miracles: On the Path of Hope from Infertility to Parenthood

By by Michele St. Martin

Dr. Zouves and his co-author skillfully present each couple's story -- from their professional lives, to their longing for a child, to the medical problems that stand in their way, while weaving in medical diagnoses and complex reproductive technology procedures in an easy-to-understand way. This book is as much a page-turner as any thriller. Each chapter introduces you to new people and their unique problems, and you quickly realize that Dr. Zouves is going to help to solve them. The journey to success is fascinating, and by the end of the book, you feel inspired -- and like any good novel, you wish it didn't have to end.

This book about hope, despair, pain and courage is a "must read" for anyone who has struggled to build a family, or cares about someone who has.
