- "It'll be different when you have your own." Not only does this idea diminish the love of non-biological parents, but it pushes parents to go it alone, when in fact children are a gift best shared.
- "Family is the greatest legacy." For many, children are the ultimate sign of a life well lived, and successes in other areas are discounted, but this book explores how women are making meaning beyond mothering and leaving a legacy predicated on more than DNA. <p/>Interweaving Lane's story with those of others who also chose to go off-script--including singles and couples, stepparents and foster parents, the infertile and the ambivalent--Someone Other Than a Mother creates a vision for a woman's life that affirms the beauty of motherhood while decoupling female purpose from procreation.

Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
