Exploring social and political definitions of normality, Ali reflects on motherhood, identity, the female body, the able and dis-abled body. This memoir also delves into the experience of pregnancy, and the ways in which the female body becomes a public topic of discussion. The limits of child care policies are also scrutinized in this impressive journey. Central to the narrative are the following questions: is my body imperfect for conceiving a baby with a genetic disorder? Is my daughter's body imperfect?
