Spirit Baby is a deeply moving, lyrical, and personal memoir-meets-travelogue that brings us on an intense emotional journey while weaving in fascinating elements of Chinese culture. As a woman who’s experienced the devastation of infertility, I could closely relate to Nina’s feelings, which she expresses in an artful way, laced with humor and layered with meaning. Reading this book is an immersive experience—it’s gorgeously written, with rich descriptions of travels in China that make you feel like you’re there, eating the delicious food and exploring the stunning sights, sounds, and smells.

I particularly loved that Nina didn’t shy away from sharing the intimate, raw, and honest details of her infertility journey. I think that anyone who’s faced obstacles in their path to have children will feel seen and heard through this book. I appreciated that Nina’s travels in China helped bring her emotional wisdom and fresh perspectives, uplifting her and the readers in unexpected ways.

I won’t give you any spoilers, but throughout the narrative, I was riveted with curiosity about how Nina would resolve her journey—and I was surprised and delighted by the (real-life) twist. This book captivated me completely and inspired me deeply!
