Jennifer Van Dyck
Liza was a healthy 34-year-old when she discovered she could not carry a baby. Like the one of every six women who hears this news, Liza and her husband, David, despaired that they would never be parents. They both had careers. Life would go on...in other ways.Then the unpredictable happened. Liza's cousin, Jennifer, offered to be the gestational carrier for Liza and David. This is the story of how two women and their husbands came to the incredible decision to put their faith, their lifelong friendship, and their hearts into the rigorous, uncharted and emotional science of creating new life.
No other memoir has explored this medical odyssey - the promise and the problems in pursuit of parenthood. No one has shared it with the world until now, in a heartwarming true story filled with eloquence and candor.

Conceiving Luc is a collaborative memoir that chronicles a complex family's concerted efforts to produce a child. Actress Jennifer Van Dyck (Law & Order, Across the Universe) performs this medical and emotional saga in a warm, maternal voice that could not be better suited to the deeply candid material.
After Liza Freilicher is told that she's physically unable to bear children, her cousin Jennifer offers to be her gestational carrier. In Van Dyck's sensitive tones, these two women - bound almost umbilically by life and baby - explore their pasts from multiple angles, examining how formative experiences inform their parenting decisions, and ruminating on what it means to start a family, against all odds.
Compelling family story.
