Childfree

Sweet Grapes: How to Stop Being Infertile and Start Living Again by Michael and Jean Carter (Indianapolis: Perspectives Press, revised, 1997). Don't sell this book short! While it is the only book which provides information and advocacy for the option of childfree living (chosen by its authors), its excellent discussion of how to make good decisions makes it a good choice for all infertile couples and professionals working with them.
