You Are Not Alone

Anika at WriteBlack brought to my attention that last week was National Infertility Awareness Week. To mark the occasion, she posted a very moving and personal post about her experiences with this painful issue. She speaks of everything from her own struggles with the desire for "biological" children, to her experiences being the only black woman in the waiting room at the reproductive endocrinologist's office.

Since my second novel, The Untelling, deals with the issue of black women and infertility, I offered up a copy as a giveaway. I wanted to post here so you all could participate and to encourage you to read her post, but it all happened when I was in Nebraska.

So, to make it right, I am offering a second copy. If you'd like to win the signed first edition of The Untelling, leave a comment over on Anika's post about Black women and infertility. On Friday morning at 8am, I will choose a winner by using the randomizer.

Thank you for pointing out the link!!! I had NO IDEA it was National Infertility Awareness Week (had no idea such a thing even existed). And you know about my whole infertility sadness.

Anyway! I hope I win the book. It's been on my Amazon wishlist!
