Check out the dreamy, Lichtenstein-style cover we chose for our next book. Crybaby: Infertility, Illness and Other Things That Were Not the End of the World by Cheryl E. Klein hits shelves in September. Thanks so much to designer Zoe Norvell who delivered the goods on this one.
In her mid-30s and desperate to have a baby with her partner, Cheryl Klein finds herself facing a slew of hard things: infertility, pregnancy loss, breast cancer—not to mention a heartbreakingly fickle adoption process.
As the limitations of her own body threaten her greatest dream, Cheryl must navigate the chasm between what she wants and what she gets; who she is and who she needs to be; which things she’s willing to endure, and what she actually will. Meanwhile, her marriage and close friendships begin to crack under the weight of her untethered emotions.
Empathetic, candid, and often humorous, Crybaby is the story of what happens when a failed perfectionist and sometimes hypochondriac finds out that the all-too-human madness of life is greatly eased when we hold space for grief and joy and fear and hope, all at the same time.
