    About this ebook

    A humorous, poignant, delightfully illustrated memoir about finally making the Baby Decision-and making the baby.

    For the first twenty-three years of her life, Suzy Becker was sure she would have at least two babies. Then it took her fifteen years to resolve to go ahead and have just one. One Good Egg is a funny, warmhearted, twenty-first century tale of making a family, illustrated with hundreds of her witty cartoons, clippings, charts, and pseudographs.

    When Suzy Becker finally decided she had everything she needed-the home, the savings, the friends, the family, and the gumption-to have a baby alone, she was thirty-nine, which catapulted her into the ranks of the six million other American women who need medical help to conceive. In One Good Egg, she chronicles her travels through the maze of fertility treatments, considering and reconsidering how far she was willing to go and inwardly convinced none of it would ever work. Five months after she learned she was pregnant, Suzy got married.

    While none of us can adequately plan or prepare for certain realities like giving birth or parenthood, Suzy Becker's One Good Egg reminds us we are not alone on our journeys.

      Suzy Becker is a talented and humorous writer. She brings her readers along on a trip from the idea of family to the actual creation of it, with all its ups and downs. Though occasionally confusing, the many cartoons are for the most part complimentary and funny, sure to provoke a laugh from even the most stoic reader. Emotional, humorous, and satisfying, this memoir is well worth the read.
