How far would you go to get your unborn child back? The last frontier is not space nor the ocean, it is the eight microscopic cells that make up life in its earliest form. This second edition of A Circle Of Chalk includes new expanded text and never before seen photographs of the real heroes on whom this story is based.
When North Carolina native, Jenna Ellis, graduates from Princeton University in 1981 and moves to Manhattan, she feels as if her life is just beginning--a phase of her life that will be better and brighter than her painful childhood. She finishes NYU law and secures a dream job in a top NYC firm. Then, as if the universe is offering her a spectacular gift, she meets Ed Mountain, the heir to a multi-billion-dollar company, and is swept off her feet. For a while, Ed is as charmed as he is charming--until he isn't. In a nasty and exceedingly public divorce, Jenna is stripped of everything that she loves, including the couple's last three embryos, frozen for over a decade in a Kips Bay lab. In a cruel twist, Ed opens the door of hope--there is a chance for Jenna to get her unborn children out of his hands--but it may take more time than Jenna has...In this sweeping story spanning four decades, the lives of four women from vastly different backgrounds are intertwined. The women have one thing in common--they want a baby, no matter what it takes. This book is based on the real lives of IVF's earliest patients and the doctors who changed the world forever.
