Summary: My Little One
Review: As someone who has followed the stages of several couples from the moment
they found out they couldn't have children to the healthy births of two for
each couple, through 'in vitro fertilization', I found this book to be
poignant, funny, and tearful. This easy read novel provides life lessons for
everyone in fortitude. The characters are wonderfully drawn and every reader
will recognize grandma Hannah in his or her own family. The author has
successfully tackled a very touchy subject and made the struggles of
infertility understandable to those who have always taken for granted the
simple act of conception.

Summary: My Little One
Review: I just finished reading My Little One. It is a very enjoyable and informative book. I never realized the pain and difficulty infertile couples experience. I became very involved with the characters in the story and I hope Ms Rechtman is planning a sequel. I would love to find out what the future holds for all of them.

Summary: Well done, Nancy Rechtman!
Review: I so enjoyed reading My Little One. Nancy Rechtman brings her characters to life and I found myself reaching the last page with a groan because I wanted more! Following the frenetic life of Emma Bronfman as she defines her inability to conceive as a failure to her womanhood and self-esteem is funny, sad, sometimes pathetic and always poignant. Nancy's short and easy to read style has you identifying with Emma as we peek inside the windows of her life. Don't be too surprised if you find yourself chanting, 'baby, baby, baby, please.'

Summary: My Little One
Review: I thoroughly enjoyed My Little One. I got so involved with wanting to know what would happen next I finished it in two days. I would love to know what happens next. Does Hanna get to meet any great grandchildren and how there lives turn out. It doesn't matter if you have had infertility problems or not the book was great.

Summary: humorous and thoughtful
Review: I thoroughly enjoyed My Little One. Having had infertilitly problems in the past I could completely relate to the lead character,Emma, but other parts of the story touched me. The way the author demonstrated Emma's self esteem problems was very insightful. She not only is dealing with infertility and her mother's death and father's new girlfriend, but she also has to work at figuring out who she really is. All this takes place among a wonderful cast of characters, my favorite being Grandma Hannah. I believe any woman whether she has experienced infertility or not will see something of herself in Emma, and enjoy the experience.

Summary: Midwest Book Review
Review: In her first book, Nancy Machlis Rechtman puts a slightly different spin on the heartbreaking problem of infertility.
My Little One is a strong work of fiction featuring multi layered characters living realistic every day lives. Humans are not perfect and neither is real life. The author captures every nuance of human nature perfectly.
Emma Bronfman and her husband Steve are childless after seven years of marriage. Emma's watched friends and family conceive and give birth, attended baptisms and brisses. At thirty-five, she's no longer the pretty young bride full of hope. She's suffered through hormone therapy and the resulting mood swings, grieved over one failed insemination after another, and the strain has precipitated her husband's infidelity. Despite the trials, they love each other, but Emma sees herself as barren, harboring that empty, desolate despair of a wife who can't conceive. And then, as if things weren't bad enough, her sixty one year old father and his twenty five year old fiancee are expecting.
I loved this story. It has humor and pathos, despair and hope, dispensed by the generous hand of a promising new writer.

Summary: Poignant & humorous
Review: Ms. Rechtman has written an eye-opening book about the heartache of infertility and other very familiar life issues. A must read for those who've both experienced infertility and those who haven't. And the humor throughout provides wonderful comic relief in the midst of Emma's trials & tribulations. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll find yourself saying many of the books' characters seem very familiar! A very realistic slice of life.
