A sisterhood of support for coping with infertility

"This compelling and insightful book will be much appreciated by women and men experiencing infertility. When You're Not Expecting is an important antidote to the top-down medical protocols that many have experienced."
--Ramona Faith Oswald, Ph.D., 2010 Program Chair of the National Council on Family Relations

For more than twenty years, Constance H. Shapiro-celebrated therapist, author, and professor-has dedicated her practice to helping women and couples deal with infertility. In When You're Not Expecting, she combines her wisdom with the personal stories, creative solutions, and revelations of over 200 women and couples diagnosed with infertility.

* Your inability to get pregnant is causing you confusion and anxiety.
* You can't figure out who to tell about your infertility (or how much to confide).
* You are not getting the support you need.
* Your sex life has lost its zing now that you have calendars and ovulation kits on your bedside table.
* You are single or in a lesbian relationship and hoping to conceive.
* You have experienced pregnancy loss.
* More and more, your life and every decision you make seem to revolve around your infertility.

Why We Suck: A Feel Good Guide to Staying Fat, Loud, Lazy and Stupid

The New York Times bestseller

English | Audio wma | 262 Mb
One of America's most original and biting comic satirists, Denis Leary takes on all the poseurs, politicians, and pop culture icons who have sucked in public for far too long. Sparing no one, Leary zeroes in on the ridiculous wherever he finds it-his Irish Catholic upbringing, the folly of celebrity, the pressures of family life, and the great hypocrisy of politics-with the same bright, savage, and profane insight he brought to his critically acclaimed one-man shows No Cure for Cancer< and Lock 'n Load.

Proudly Irish-American, defiantly working class, with a reserve of compassion for the underdog and the overlooked, Leary delivers blistering diatribes that are both penetrating social commentary with no holds barred and laugh-out-loud funny. As always, Leary's impassioned comic perspective in Why We Suck is right on target.
