Chasing Someday

De: Lindzee Armstrong

Narrado por: Tiffany Williams

Megan is trying hard not to be bitter. She's done everything right - married the man she loved, planned a nursery, read the parenting books. But after six years of insanity-inducing hormone drugs and desperate prayers, all she has to show for her efforts are enough negative pregnancy tests to fill a bassinet. To make matters worse, her star teenage piano student accidentally get pregnant. Megan has never felt so alone. But she's not the only one struggling.

Christina has been off birth control for more than a year - she just hasn't told her husband yet. When he finds out her secret, their already strained marriage threatens to rip apart. He's uncertain about fatherhood, but Christina will do anything to be a mother and is determined to face infertility with or without him.

Then there's Kyra, the mother of a precocious three-year-old who's shocked to struggle with secondary infertility. She wants another child more than anything, but her family is already drowning in debt and knocking at poverty's door. A baby is priceless, but try telling that to those demanding payment for the chance at motherhood.

When a school book drive brings the three women together, their uncomfortable secrets soon come to light. Can they overcome their heartache together, or will they allow infertility to tear them apart?

Captivating book

I had a free Audio version of this book, but this is my voluntary and honest opinion. This book is about three women all dealing with infertility, and the ways they cope, how they feel about themselves and how they think other people see them. Lindzee captures their emotions and portrays them expertly. The book was easy to read and really made me think. I would highly recommend reading this book.

Emotional

Although this was not my situation I have close friends and family who struggles with infertility. I loved that the author took us through several different paths with different outcomes. Loved the men who loved these women. I hope one of the couples gets a follow up story. Emotionally driven with a fantastic narrator.

Excellent!

I was fortunate to receive a free Audible code from this author. Plus years ago I bought the hardcover of this book as I was very interested in the premise of this story: Three women and their husbands and how each one handled their infertility. I myself had been unable to get pregnant for the first few years of my marriage so I found these characters very relatable. Although fictional, any one of these characters could be your own friends or acquaintances, some you may know their of their plight but others you may not as in this story. Lindzee Armstrong handled this delicate subject extremely well including the teenager who got pregnant unexpectedly and decided to have her baby and adopt it out to a couple who would never be able to have their own child. This is a story you may find less frequently these days with the ease of abortion. As far as the narrator of this story goes, I believe Ms Tiffany Williams did very well. I’m sure it would have been very difficult to portray all the character’s voices and view points in this story but I had no problem listening to them. Kudos go out to her. I find no problem highly recommending this be it Audible book, ebook, hardcover or paperback to all.

A Baby Quest

This was a tough story to listen to. These three women all struggled with fertility issues and I never knew the amount of physical, emotional, and financial pain some women have to go through in their hope to have a baby. I cried at their losses and cheered their successes.

The narrator has a nice smooth voice with inflections, emotions, and voice changes in all the right places.

Best way I could've spent my spare time!

Talk about an emotional roller coaster! Lindzee has done an amazing job developing the characters followed in this book. There is never any question about who they are, or what they are doing. This audio book has been one of my favorites! Tiffany Williams never ceases to amaze me. Her voice is astounding, you have to hear it for yourself. I am already on my second listen of this book it was so good. Helps time fly by on my daily commute!

Such a wonderful story!

Wonderful story line that really pulled at my emotions! Three women who are bonded together by something out of their control.

heavy subject matter

this was a lot to take in. many different perspectives with different stories of the road to parenthood. it wasn't confusing even though it bounces from couple to couple, but the way their lives overlap, it makes for a great story. my heart broke for them all even though I don't have kids. but it did make it hard for me to understand Kira and David's story

A great display of the ups and down of infertility

A book hasn't made me this emotional for a very long time. Pulling from her own experiences, Ms. Armstrong portrays three couples dealing with infertility in different stages and in different ways. The character development is so good that you can't help but feel the pain and insecurities that each couple goes through. The story line isn't all gloom and doom, but neither is there an unrealistic HEA for all three couples. I loved that Ms. Armstrong brought the three women who were virtually strangers together to form their own infertility support group of sorts, so that they banded together to encourage, celebrate and grieve together.
I had hoped for more depth in Ms. Armstrong's writing than what I had previously read in her work before. Boy, did I ever get it! I think this book would be a good read for everyone, whether or not you have ever suffered from infertility or suffered a miscarriage or stillbirth. It leaves an understanding with the reader...an empathy for those suffering and possibly a bridge to communication with those suffering. My sympathy to all those who have suffered the agonies of infertility and to those of us who have lost little ones to whom we had already attached such hopes and dreams. I get by thinking of my lost little ones up in heaven with their grandpas, just waiting for me to come hold them.
Amazing job, Ms. Armstrong! The narration of the audio book by Tiffany Williams was exceptional.The tone was just right for such a sensitive matter.
I was given this book by the author. The opinions are my own.

Painful, but poignant

This heartfelt story follows four women and their exploration of motherhood. Three are infertile and wrestling with its impact on their lives and marriages. The fourth is a teenager with an unplanned pregnancy.

As the story unfolds, very deep and real pain is expressed, which makes the story both poignant and painful.

If you want a deeper understanding of the impact infertility can have on people, this is a great book to read. But expect an emotional roller coaster!

A touching story

This is a highly emotional story about three women struggling to have children. This audio was a tad hard to listen to since I too dealt with infertility all through my childbearing years.
The author draws the reader into the lives of Megan, Christina, and Kyra. Each with a different story but all with the same situation.
This audio was a tad hard to listen to since I too dealt with infertility all through my childbearing years
That said, it was well narrated and an author I will continue to follwo.
