Description

After a stellar career as a world champion aerial skier, Jacqui Cooper's only hope to start a family was IVF. While there's plenty of technical information out there for women embarking on this process, Jacqui yearned for some real, honest, warts-and-all advice on the highs and lows of IVF. But she couldn't find it. So, in true Jacqui style, she decided to write it herself.

Frozen Hopeis Jacqui's own story of IVF- the emotional responses she didn't expect, the things she wished she'd known, the things she wished she'd prepared for and those she could never have anticipated. It's a story of hope despite disheartening odds, extraordinary perseverance and, ultimately, joy and motherhood.
