Though our reproductive journeys often shape our life experiences, they can feel too private-or perhaps inappropriate-to share. But when Erin Connors began to ask people about their stories, her simple invitation unleashed a torrent from friends and strangers alike about how this one aspect of life influenced just about every other: partner relationships, faith and spirituality, family dynamics, careers, childhoods, and mental health.

Through interviews and personal essays, Connors artfully illuminates the themes that emerged from these individual accounts, as well as the connections among them. What she uncovers is that, despite our feelings of isolation, our silence, or our politics, we have more in common in than we may believe. Our reproductive challenges seem to weave together and branch, creating a silken web of experiences within ourselves and between one another. And yet, what place do we have to share these truths?

Wellspring sheds light on this paradox, inviting us to discard shame, judgment, and isolation in favor of raw honesty, unflinching complexity, and deep empathy.
