— Olympic Gold Medalist and infertility warrior Tara Lipinski

— Singer and infertility warrior Christina Perri
“Just got your book and now I’m bawling lol. Love it so much. I need to order another book becasue it’s going in my kids’ ‘save’ boxes so they have it forever.”
— BreAnne, Fertility Rally Member

— New Jersey Grade School Librarian
“Ali’s mission is to make the process of family building in this way approachable for kids as well as letting them know how loved and wanted they are. I not only want to recognize her for all the hard work she put into writing and publishing this book but thank her for this beautiful gift to us as parents to an IVF baby, to Hadley as an IVF babe, and to this entire community.”
— Blair, Fertility Rally Co-Founder
“I just want to say that you created such a beautiful book. We got ours over the weekend and our 3 1/2 year old is obsessed with it. I had put it off to the side to not go into his usual rotation of books since it was signed and he grabbed it and well, I lost that battle. I don't think he understands most of it, but he loves it all the same and we do too!”
— Michelle, Infertility Warrior
“So proud of you. I always knew you’d be a writer."
— Ms. DeBruin, Ali’s Second Grade Teacher
“Best book I’ve ever been in. Better than a slam dunk!"
— Sonny Prato
Why I wrote “Work of ART” and why you should read it
When I was going through my Secondary Infertility journey, I have never felt so lost and alone in my life. I didn’t know much about my own fertility, and I didn’t know ANYTHING about IVF. Years later, once I finally had my IVF baby, Sonny, I vowed that I would raise awareness and help normalize the conversation around infertility, miscarriage, IVF and Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART), for anyone who was going through it after me. I wrote this book because it’s the thing I wish I had while I was going through it. I want all kids who were born through ART to know how wanted they were, and how loved they are. Creating this book has been a true labor of love, and I hope you love reading it as much as I loved writing it. Remember, no matter what you are going through, you are not alone.
Love, Ali
