ANSONIA - Author Gilda Simpkin will discuss her memoir, “My Baby Chase: Our Roller Coaster Ride from Infertility to Parenthood,” at 6 p.m. Sept. 27 at the Ansonia Library.
The book depicts the serious and sometimes hilarious aspects of fertility treatments through two hair-raising international adoptions.
The adoptions are fraught with unpredictable birth mothers, unreliable baby brokers, media competitions, midnight crank calls and repeatedly changing government regulations and strangling red tape.
Their journey has so many surprising twists and cliffhangers it reads like a suspense novel which will keep readers at the edge of their seats. All of this takes place against the backdrop of pressure from her aging holocaust survivor parents eager for a grandchild.
Join Simpkin as she discusses her memoir of her harrowing 20-year quest to become a mother. Copies of her book will be available for purchase.
