“Book Descriptions: Part memoir, part exploration of childlessness through candid conversations, Others Like Me is the story of fourteen women around the world, from different walks of life, who don’t have children. It’s also Nicole Louie's story and the story of why she had to find others like her.
As the social expectation to procreate weighs the most on women, Louie focuses solely on them, their experiences, and how they flourish outside of motherhood. In doing so, she upends the stereotypes that diminish women who are not mothers by choice, circumstance, or ambivalence and offers reassurance and companionship on a path less known.
