<p><strong><strong>There are numerous reasons why people don&rsquo;t have kids and the most common is NOT</strong><em> </em><strong>because they are selfish. In today&rsquo;s society, many of us understand that it&rsquo;s not appropriate to make comment on another person&#39;s weight, ethnicity, religion or sexual persuasion. So why do we still feel it&rsquo;s appropriate to not only comment, but have an often-uneducated opinion on whether a person has a child or not?</strong> </strong></p><p>In <em>It&rsquo;s okay not to have kids</em>, Michelle Cox shares her experiences about not only surviving cancer and losing the ability to have something she always wanted &ndash; children &ndash; but then having to navigate societal pressures placed upon her and other people&rsquo;s opinions on how she lives her life.</p><p>This is a book about resilience. It&rsquo;s about leading the life that you want and that&rsquo;s right for you. But mostly it&rsquo;s a book about understanding and appreciation for other ways. Everyone&rsquo;s life path is not the same and that&rsquo;s perfectly fine.</p>
