It's also the story of why Nicole Louie had to find them and what they taught her. Part memoir, part exploration of childlessness through candid conversations, this book showcases the many ways in which people find fulfilment outside of parenthood. And because the social expectation to procreate weighs the most on women, Louie focuses solely on them, their experiences and how they flourish outside of motherhood. In doing so, she upends the stereotypes that diminish women who are not mothers and offers reassurance and companionship on a path less known.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e'Deeply felt and deeply researched, books like this will help women decide what is right for them' \u003c\/b\u003eRowan Hisayo Buchanan, author of \u003ci\u003eHarmless Like You\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e'An uplifting read about finding fulfilment outside of motherhood'\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Gloss\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e'With candour and self-reflection, Louie takes us on her journey to a deeper understanding of wanting a life that does not include motherhood' \u003c\/b\u003eLaura Carroll, author of \u003ci\u003eThe Baby Matrix\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41540091084897,"sku":"9781408748336","price":19.91,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_33815833.jpg?v=1744899057","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781408748336-others-like-me","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
