Parenting

Childlessness is a growing issue in the UK and throughout the developed world. Current estimates suggest that 20-25 per cent of women now of childbearing age will not, for a variety of reasons, ever have a child. This sensitive and intelligent book offers support, shared experience and practical strategies to those for whom childlessness is not a positive choice but a circumstance they have to learn to live with. Even now, many women find it very difficult to discuss this emotive topic with family and friends so this ground-breaking and accessible book will be profoundly and widely welcomed.
