To be honest, I didn't request this book. PBS said I requested it at a time when I was looking for books written by William Saroyan and, because it was an anthology, I assumed it had one of his stories in it and that I'd just forgotten having requested it so I didn't say anything. I'm a confirmed, avid and exclusive reader of Fantasy and Science Fiction but, at a time when I had nothing else to read, I read the first story in this book and was instantly, hopelessly hooked. I couldn't put it down until I'd finished it and then my wife read it. We both loved it. This is a wonderful book. I'd rate it as totally unsuitable for immature, narrow minded people but any open minded, genuine adult is going to love it.

Amazing writing. Every situation dealt with in a beautiful or funny way.

An excellent collection of first-hand accounts of conception, birth, adoption, and what happens when none of these options works.
