My Little One

I thoroughly enjoyed My Little One. I got so involved with wanting to know what would happen next I finished it in two days. I would love to know what happens next. Does Hanna get to meet any great grandchildren and how there lives turn out. It doesn't matter if you have had infertility problems or not the book was great.

humorous and thoughtful

I thoroughly enjoyed My Little One. Having had infertilitly problems in the past I could completely relate to the lead character,Emma, but other parts of the story touched me. The way the author demonstrated Emma's self esteem problems was very insightful. She not only is dealing with infertility and her mother's death and father's new girlfriend, but she also has to work at figuring out who she really is. All this takes place among a wonderful cast of characters, my favorite being Grandma Hannah. I believe any woman whether she has experienced infertility or not will see something of herself in Emma, and enjoy the experience.

Reality at its best

Sat down and read this book in one weekend. Intended to just start and read a chapter or two, but got caught up in the real-life people and situations. Easy to read. Great characters too...we all know a "Hannah" (the grandmother)! Life has its frustrations, but this book teaches you not to give up or loose hope...its all in "how" you deal with it. Chin-up and a positive attitude gets you through. This book is a quick pick-me-up with lots of lessons in life. Looking forward to a sequel!

Poignant & humorous

Ms. Rechtman has written an eye-opening book about the heartache of infertility and other very familiar life issues. A must read for those who've both experienced infertility and those who haven't. And the humor throughout provides wonderful comic relief in the midst of Emma's trials & tribulations. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll find yourself saying many of the books' characters seem very familiar! A very realistic slice of life.

My Little One

I just finished reading My Little One. It is a very enjoyable and informative book. I never realized the pain and difficulty infertile couples experience. I became very involved with the characters in the story and I hope Ms Rechtman is planning a sequel. I would love to find out what the future holds for all of them.
