Non-Fiction Memoir
A personal and medical odyssey beyond anything most women
would believe possible
At age forty-four, Alice
Eve Cohen was happy for the first time in years. After a
difficult divorce, she was engaged to an inspiring man,
joyfully raising her adopted daughter, and her career was
blossoming. Alice tells her fiancé that she’s never been
happier. And then the stomach pains begin.
In her
unflinchingly honest and ruefully witty voice, Alice nimbly
carries us through her metamorphosis from a woman who has
come to terms with infertility to one who struggles to love
a heartbeat found in her womb – six months into a high-risk
pregnancy.
What I Thought I Knew is a
page-turner filled with vivid characters, humor, and many
surprises and twists of fate. With the suspense of a
thriller and the intimacy of a diary, Cohen describes her
unexpected journey through doubt, a broken medical system,
and the hotly contested terrain of motherhood and family in
today’s society. Timely and compelling, What I Thought I
Knew will capture readers of memoirs such as Eat,
Pray, Love; The Glass Castle; and A Three Dog
Life.
