Three Wishes
By Carey Goldberg, Beth Jones, and Pamela Ferdinand
Today I bring you a memoir on motherhood, and I love these types of books so whenever I find one I just have to share with you. This one is called Three Wishes: A True Story of Good Friends, Crushing Heartbreak, and Astonishing Luck on Our Way To Love and Motherhood.
Whoo, that’s a mouthful, huh?
Anyway, it’s written by three amazing women, Carey Goldberg, Beth Jones, and Pamela Ferdinand who were nearing 40 and successful at work but still single and wanting children. They decide to seek help through the local sperm bank to fulfill their dreams of motherhood. What comes from their story when that first vial of sperm arrives will give any woman hope and bring joy to your heart. As the women find love and create families, one by one, embarking on their journey to motherhood, you’ll fall in love with Three Wishes!
Here is a video of Carey, Beth and Pamela explaining a little bit about what happened.

Here’s the official back of the book blurb:
Carey, Beth, and Pam had succeeded at work but failed at romance, and each resolved to have a baby before time ran out. Just one problem: no men. Carey took the first bold step towards single motherhood, searching anonymous donor banks until she found the perfect match. What she found was not a father in a vial, but a sort of magic potion. She met a man, fell in love, and got pregnant the old-fashioned way. She passed the vials to Beth, and it happened again. Beth met man, Beth got pregnant. Beth passed the vials to Pam, and the magic struck again. There were setbacks and disappointments, but three women became three families, reveling in the shared joy of love, friendship, and never losing hope.
