by 50 Things to Know (Author), Kelly Hawkins (Author)

Do you hear silence instead of the hands of the mythical biological clock ticking? Does your heart flutter faster when you see a puppy than it does when you see a tiny human? Do you break into a cold sweat when you receive a baby shower or child's birthday invitation? If you answered yes to any of these questions then this book is for you...50 Things to Know about Being Childfree by Choice, by Kelly Hawkins, offers a candid and humorous description of why she and several other women she interviewed have chosen not to have children. Most books on being childfree tell you about how it is an atypical decision. Although there's nothing wrong with that, and the decision is still not the norm, the number of women and couples that are choosing to lead a life without kids is on the rise. In fact, it is becoming what some would consider a movement. In these pages you'll discover the various personal experiences, alternative priorities, fears, and challenges that have led the author and some of her closest family and friends to pursue paths other than motherhood. This book will help you understand that being a mom is not a role that every woman desires to play. By the time you finish this book, you will know why it can sometimes feel lonely as a childfree woman, but will discover that if you too have felt this way, you have a larger support network than you may think.
