Centered on the experience of infertility, the book examines how reproductive struggle is shaped not only by biology and medicine, but also by social expectations, feminism, economics, and ideas about family. Boggs uses her own uncertainty about conception as a starting point, then widens the lens to include assisted reproductive technology, adoption, child-free lives, and the language people use to describe fertility and motherhood. She also connects human reproduction with animal breeding and conservation, using these comparisons to question what counts as natural and what counts as intervention. The result is a thoughtful, interdisciplinary book that is less interested in offering instructions than in clarifying the emotional, ethical, and cultural complexity surrounding waiting, longing, and the making of a family.
