For a long time, the only people writer Belle Boggs spoke to about her own struggle with infertility were in a support group, but when she started writing about the topic, she found that many of her friends and family had also dealt with the issue.

In her book The Art of Waiting: On Fertility, Medicine, and Motherhood, Boggs explores the culture of silence that surrounds fertility in American culture.

Morning Shift talks to Boggs about her personal story, which served as the nugget for her meditation on family and creating a family in the face of infertility.
