And from there--do I want a baby? With whom should I have a baby? How will I know when I'm ready? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDecisions made during this period suddenly take on more weight, as questions of love, career, friendship, fertility, and family clash together while peers begin the process of coupling and breeding. But this very important process is rarely written or talked about beyond the clichés of the \"ticking clock.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEnter Frizzell, our comforting guide, who uses personal stories from her own experiences in the panic years to illuminate the larger social and cultural trends, and gives voice to the uncertainty, confusion, and urgency that tends to characterize this time of life. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFrizzell reminds us that we are not alone in this, and encourages us to share our experiences and those of the women around us--as she does with honesty and vulnerability in these pages.
