"Unstoppable: Forging a Path to Motherhood in the Early Days of IVF," a Memoir by Ellen Weir Casey ’67

"Unstoppable" is a first-hand account of a patient’s experience as she entered an in vitro fertilization program in 1982. As the mother of one of the first in vitro babies, Ellen Weir Casey shares her very personal story of perseverance in achieving her dream of motherhood. As she states in her Author’s note: “I believe women today should know the stories of the women who went before them, not so very long ago. These were pioneering women who startled convention by questioning authority, who did their own research, made their own decisions, talked about difficult, taboo subjects, and paved the way for you, the brave, independent-thinking, goal-driven females whom we so respect and value today.” Ellen credits much of her success in life to Laurel “where it was engrained in me to always believe in myself and make my own decisions.”

"Unstoppable" is published by River Grove Press/Greenleaf Book Group and is Available on Amazon.
