Lisa Manterfield was a sensible 32-year-old when she met The One-a man who sparked a passion for tango, an urge to break down closed doors, and a deep-rooted desire to reproduce. Five years later she was a baby addict, hiding her addiction, plotting a maternity ward heist, and threatening anything that got in her way, including her beloved husband and his pesky practicality. In this gritty and honest memoir, Manterfield traces her spiraling route from rational 21st century woman to desperate mama-wannabe. She examines the siren song of motherhood, the insidious lure of the fertility industry, and the repercussions of being childless in a mom-centric society. But this isn't just another infertility story with another miracle baby ending, nor is it a sad introspective of a childless woman; this is a story about love, desire, and choices-and ultimately about hope. It is the story of a woman who escapes her addiction, not with a baby, but with her sanity, her marriage, and her sense-of-self intact.

Nice personal item for travel
Color: Black
I recently used this bag on my cruise. It fits perfectly under the seat for a personal item. The quality is nice and the bag is spacious to back many items. The only thing I didn’t like is that I kept having to adjust the straps due to them coming loose.

Hidden Gem!
Color: Desert
Huge and suitcase like on the inside. The zipper is the same color as the backpack and looks luxurious. Very soft and cushy even with heavy stuff in it. Like a laptop. Which there is a specific place for it that is cushioned. But my favorite by far is the clear pockets on the inside. I like that you can see what your getting out of your bag and where to find what. Also the outside pockets are really useful! And kinda incognito which is great for if you want to put valuables there. You can use this for travel, school and work. It's very versatile. Very good for organization. Comgortable and easygoing. Quality is 5/5.
