Historia
Inconceivable combines memoir and investigative reporting to reveal an underground community of sperm donors and recipients who have chosen to circumvent traditional fertility avenues and meet up on their own terms. As an active participant in this community, Valerie Bauman uses her own story as a lens into this movement of people attempting to dodge the costly and often discriminatory world of sperm banks and fertility clinics.

Personal and Unconventional Journey to Motherhood
Revisado: 04-27-24
Bauman's style of writing is very compelling (think undercover journalist) yet her very personal memoir is somehow beautifully intertwined. She imbeds the stories of many women and men wanting to build or help create a family system with their own gametes. These stories are the stories that are supposed to be untold. Private, personal, sad, happy, surprising, devastating, and beautiful. I laughed, cried, gasped, and was awed by Bauman's journey and the journey of many others she shares. After reading her memoir I noticed it was on Audible and Bauman was the narrator. Why not, I had the credits, and this story was too touching to not hear it read by the author. I'm so glad I got the audible version as well! I was immersed in her journey and felt her excitement, pain, sorrow, determination, and joy through her emotional read. This is a great book. I learned so much, and feel everyone trying to conceive a family unconventionally owes it to themselves to at least take this journey will Bauman to learn all the ins and outs of conceiving when it seems so unconceivable.

Historia
Nameless, Kentucky, in 1969 is a hardscrabble community where jobs are few and poverty is a simple fact - just like the hot Appalachian breeze or the pests that can wipe out a tobacco field in days. RubyLyn Bishop is luckier than some. Her God-fearing uncle, Gunnar, has a short fuse and high expectations, but he's given her a good home ever since she was orphaned at the age of five. Yet now, a month shy of her 16th birthday, RubyLyn itches for more.
