The Hollow Heart

Second-Hand

Excellent condition

In three attempts at in-vitro fertilisation, Martina Devlin lost nine 'maybe babies'. But she also lost her marriage and her dreams of becoming a mother.

"The Hollow Heart" is the story of Martina's journey from early bewilderment at being diagnosed as infertile, through the traumatic process of IVF, to the shattering fall-out when she realized that not only would she never have children, but that her relationship with her husband had been damaged beyond repair.

Martina also describes how her despair eventually faded and how she made a new life for herself.

Most of all "The Hollow Heart" is the story of a woman learning to do as her mother always advised to count her blessings.
