“For a long time I have felt that my field was in
desperate need of a book written for the general reader which was accurate,
included reliable information, was balanced, and, most importantly, presented
a lot of the provocative issues surrounding the treatment of the infertile
couple. There is no question that Dr. Higgins has achieved this and much
more. Her unique perspective as a physician and a mother who has journeyed
through ART along with her patients gave her the knowledge, both professional
and psychological, to write this informative and emotionally exciting
book.” “Dr Higgins combines her personal and professional experience
into a sound book, Creating Life Against The Odds, one that makes
both good science and good sense. It presents an excellent balance of
the cognitive and emotional perspectives, and I recommend it highly.” “Dr. Ilona Higgins and I were both OB/GYN residents
together at Tufts New England Medical Center in Boston. Though our paths
have been different, we both share a life-long commitment to women’s
health and empowerment. In Creating Life Against The Odds, Lonny
tackles the subject of assisted reproductive technology (ART) and how
to negotiate this area with maximum access to one’s inner guidance
with information and self-knowledge. Dr. Higgins has done a magnificent
job with a challenging subject!” Christiane Northrup, MD, author of Mother-Daughter Wisdom (Bantam, 2005), The Wisdom of Menopause (Bantam, 2001), and Women’s Bodies, Women’s Wisdom (Bantam, 1998) |
