Baby B is an embryo - one of four that have been implanted into Michael Ryan's wife, Doreen. First appearing as an essay in The New Yorker, the story of BABY B is told from the rarely-voiced perspective of the hoping-to-be-father. With candor and humour, Ryan chronicles an adventure and a love story: a strange and awe-inspiring medical process that, if everything goes just right, results in human life. Facing the prospect of failure one day and of quadruplets another, this is the memoir of a couples's emotional rollercoaster of fear, exhaustion and self-doubt.
