Conceiving Luc is told through Liza's narration and Jennifer's journal entries, as each woman goes through her own physical and emotional ordeal to bring Luc into the world. The women were always close as children, but their relationship becomes increasingly tense as the pregnancy progresses, though the experience ultimately brings them, and their husbands, closer together than ever. While too much of the book revolves around Liza's ambivalence about parenthood and flashbacks to the cousins in earlier years, Conceiving Luc becomes a truly unique tale once Jennifer's generous offer is accepted. The Freilichers' heart-rending experience of infertility and fertility treatment is fascinating, as are Jennifer's story and motivations. As a story of an extended family's quest for continued closeness and as an inspiration for couples struggling with fertility problems, this story (cowritten by Liza's mother, Suzanne Wetanson) is a positive addition to the new field of literature created by the increasing use of assisted reproduction. --Ericka Lutz
