It was inspired by a real bedtime conversation with her eldest daughter, who asked how she was born.

About Author Stephanie Boag in her own words.
At forty, I had my first child, Alice, born via IVF after completing nine cycles over more than three years with my husband. When I was forty-two, I was successful on my tenth and final IVF cycle with our second child, Ruby.

I always believed that my husband and I would achieve our dream of having our own family together. We are so grateful to science and the medical profession for helping us achieve this and for our strong supportive network of family and friends as we navigated this emotional and physical IVF journey to have two healthy babies of our own.
