Miller speaks plainly from the emotional impact of male infertility to
the marathon sessions of baby making and get-us-pregnant treatments.
His writing is straightforward, honest and laced with dry humor. (My
favorite kind.)
“Infertility treatment is a carrot-on-a-stick with tight brown curls
and a paisley onesie that tempts you to run harder and faster while
always dangling the coveted two-line pregnancy test just out of reach.
Constance and I keep chugging along with the expectation that one day
we will open our eyes to an effortless downhill track, a clear view of
the sun, and nothing but momentum and forgiveness at our backs. So far
the only things at my back are a few more errant hairs in need of
waxing.” – Matthew M. F. Miller, Maybe Baby
