I loved reading this. AK Summers guides the reader through her DIY IVF, pregnancy and birth as a butch lesbian. This was early 2000s where homopohbia and heteronormativity were significantly more explicit than perhaps today (as AJ takes pains to point out). The Black and White illustrations are beautifully done. The result is a honest, elegant and sorely needed account of birth and pregnancy as a non lesbian women. Highly recommended.
