A mother in her 40s

This book isn’t about princesses waiting to be rescued. It's about women who took their lives into their own hands. Hanka Třeštíková, a thirty-five-year-old woman with a successful career in high politics, was living her own disco story. Surrounded by friends, at home at parties, constantly on the move between work, travel, dating, and new experiences. She lived life to the fullest, without commitments and with absolute freedom. But you can't stop time, and she's starting to realise that if she ever wants to have a child, she needs to act. And fast. When it becomes clear that parenthood isn't on the cards in any of her current relationships, she decides to take a bold step: artificial insemination with a friend. But the path to her longed-for child is much more complicated than she expected, full of emotions, twists, and difficult decisions. Hanka tells her life story with perspective, honesty, and humour. She isn't afraid to open up and share even the most fragile moments. In the book, you'll also meet other women who have shown incredible courage, strength, and determination on their often winding journeys to having a child. Their stories are united by one thing: faith in a happy ending.
