It's a privilege to be a woman. Gifted with the ability to procreate, she stands apart.
Being able to carry a child and become a mother is a dream for most women. When dreams don't become realities, life seems meaningless. Using her own journey, Neena George in her memoir Just a Miracle My Tryst with Infertility shares the roller-coaster ride she endured. She aims to bridge the literary gap about the associated stigma, societal pressures and emotional trauma which are hardly talked about.
The book provides stress relief, support, hope and even encourages the reader to cling on to life, faith and love, especially when you're at a cross-road and the end seems too far. Her experiences give an insight not only into the strategies to effectively handle infertility, but also any situation in life across the barriers of age, gender and background.
The journey would resonate with many, make them understand how fortunate they are and would highlight the importance of being more empathetic and sensitive to others facing challenges.
Rising like a phoenix each time she hit a roadblock, forms an integral part of her narrative.
The book concludes with many learnings and takeaways. You're sure to draw inspiration to pursue your dreams with rock-solid determination and faith despite all odds.
It's all about understanding your potential and empowering yourself to handle situations. After all, everything is just a mind game.
