"When Alannah finally decides she's ready for a baby, she and her wife Amara dive headfirst into the wild world of sperm donors, DIY insemination, and awkward conversations-all while trying to keep their sanity (and dignity) intact."
Alannah and Amara are a married couple in their early thirties, finally ready to start a family. After a chaotic kids' birthday party full of unfiltered parenting confessions, their dream of having a child becomes stronger than ever. Their journey through fertility options is funny, messy, and deeply human from anonymous donor apps to their gay best friends, David and Tom, offering to help. What follows is a series of awkward, hilarious attempts at home insemination (yes, with science goggles) and the very real emotional ups and downs of trying to conceive. Each negative test hits hard, but support from Amara's mum, Joy, and the couple's rock-solid partnership keeps them going.
