Detours - Journey through infertility

Sue Johnston shares her 10-year journey through infertility in her book: Detours – Unexpected journeys of hope conceived from Infertility

Are you — or is someone you love — feeling derailed by the unfair twists and turns of infertility? Do the words “just relax” drive you crazy? Are you afraid you may never be able to have a baby? We get it. You’re not alone. In Detours you’ll meet a group of friends who have experienced practically every infertility setback and reproductive technology available. The authors share their incredible journeys and lessons learned — in real stories.

A “support group in a book,” these pages are packed with the help you need to navigate the infertility maze, cope with the stress of treatment, balance infertility and career, get (or give) the right kind of support, view challenges through a different lens, and find your resolution as you regain happiness. This unprecedented collection of inspirational journeys offers hope against all odds.

The eleven authors, of both sexes, diverse backgrounds and different religions, met through the RESOLVE National Infertility Association of Greater San Diego. Their shared struggle bonded them together, and they become lifelines for each other as they faced roadblocks and setbacks on their infertility journeys. Hear the fears and jubilation as they begin and end a journey none imagined, littered with disappointments but resolving with joy. Celebrate with them as they rejoice in solutions and share what they wish they had known when they were going through infertility treatment.

“Although I didn’t choose to have infertility, I eventually found happiness after learning how to accept my resolution. Time has helped me accept that some things in life that are completely out of my control. Because infertility affected me profoundly, I want to offer my support to the infertility community and what I wish I had known. I published Detours: Unexpected Journeys of Hope Conceived from Infertility in March of 2017.

A portion of the proceeds from Detours will be donated to RESOLVE: The National Infertility Association. “
