Book reading and Q & A with authors of Uncertain Fruit; A Memoir of Infertility, Loss & Love. Pierson Library in Shelburne. 6:30 pm Thursday Nov. 3rd.

A loving lesbian couple raising their two boys as a blended family in Vermont, Rebecca & Sallyann are deeply committed parents who dream of having a baby together. They try everything from foster care to fertility trials, and after nearly ten years of failed attempts, find an opportunity to participate in a local, private adoption with a teenage mom. Rebecca and Sallyann are overjoyed when they hold their newborn son in their arms. They take the baby home from the hospital and welcome him into their family. But outside forces intervene and the birth mother reclaims the baby, sending the couple into a tailspin. To survive this traumatic loss, Rebecca and Sallyann lean on their love as a couple, and grow stronger in their grief.
