Life was good for Amanda... She had a job she enjoyed. A loving husband. It seemed like the perfect time to start a family. But as month after month of trying brings no happy news, the initial excitement gives way to concern, culminating in a crushing diagnosis: Infertile.
Suddenly, Amanda is plunged into the unfamiliar world of invasive fertility treatments and the accompanying emotional see-saw – from soaring hope to overwhelming despair. Her husband is supportive and sympathetic, but can’t fully grasp Amanda’s pain. She finds herself withdrawing from him, from her favorite activities, from life itself.
Unwilling to share her burden with even close friends, she suffers in silence, feeding a vicious spiral of isolation, plummeting self-esteem, and a growing sense of worthlessness. Yet, refusing to abandon hope, she finds herself on a journey that will forever change their lives.
Yearning is a moving story of adversity, hope, and the power of following your dreams.
