Reseña del editor:

The author of Welcome to My Country and Prozac Diary describes how she as a career-oriented and independent woman made the decision to bring a child into her life, discussing the impact of having a baby on a marriage, her planned-out life, her personal needs, and her eventual choice to stop taking Prozac during the first trimester of her pregnancy. 15,000 first printing.

Nota de la solapa:

en the most clenched heart capable of it?” Lauren Slater asks about love, in this original, eloquent, and illuminating book about how we discover what love truly is. Slater, career-oriented and willfully autonomous, charts her own personal journey and decision-making process, starting with a list of the pros and cons, about having a child. The cons are many, the pros only one: “learning a new kind of love.” But what will that love look like? How does one reconcile the needs of the self with the demands of others? How do couples go from the dyad that is a marriage to the triad that is a family? And how can Slater adjust to losing precious control of her own carefully developed life?

Slater’s complex biological and psychological history also lies at the core of this unique and yet strikingly universal story. One of the first people ever to take Prozac, she chronicles the impossibly conflicting advice regarding pregnancy and antidepressants, and explains the rationale
