Emma Brockes is thirty-seven, lives alone, and wishes to have children. She is in a relationship (good!) but they are not co-parenting (strange!). Emma needs sperm, a doctor, and to not exhaust her finances. And this is just the beginning - there are millions of choices to be made when choosing the non-traditional path to motherhood. There are also the unwanted opinions, reprimands, and general hysteria that always accompany a woman’s decision to have (or not have) children. With a generous heart and humor, Panic & Joy examines fundamental questions about motherhood and the modern family.
