If the glass slipper doesn't fit, screw the fairy tale! Become a mother on your own terms.

Cheri Bergeron knew motherhood was her purpose. Her mission. She set out to make a family the old-fashioned way: find the right guy, get married, and have babies. When fate and fertility issues intervened, she refused to accept failure as an option.

Mission: Motherhood is a raw, riveting story of becoming a mother in the twenty-first century. From sexist and misguided doctors to an estranged husband who makes a legal claim to her uterus, from the joys of fostering and giving birth to the despair of loss and wrestling with faith, Cheri deftly proves it's possible to accomplish the mission of motherhood and achieve the family of your dreams.

Mission: Motherhood opens a world of possibilities for everyone feeling trapped by antiquated concepts of motherhood. Let it empower you to write a new fairy tale of love and family.
