My Motherhood Blog
The Reluctant Reproductionist began as a blog that puts forth an alternate look at womanhood and motherhood in the modern age, in the form of a personal narrative. The original story is now being published as a memoir, while the blog now talks of relationships and motherhood, and life as a writer.
