So many parenting books lack the heartfelt sentiment and unguarded honesty that Alexandra Soiseth put into her book, Choosing You: Deciding to Have a Baby on My Own. Alexandra’s story, which chronicles her struggles with weight, with men, and with her ultimate decision to use a sperm donor in order to get the child she always longed for, is surprisingly candid and incredibly moving. Alexandra takes her reader through a story that goes from bitter to sweet, as she details everything from her dreams of having the perfect husband and family and her solution to the question of how to have a child to dealing with unsupportive family and friends and finally getting pregnant with her daughter. The lessons she learned along the way speak to us all, no matter our own situation, and you won’t want to put the book down until you’ve finished this extraordinary story of loss, longing, and hope. This book is not only touching, it’s inspirational, and it will remind you of the power of love and the blessing of having a child.
