Liv Thorne, in her twenties and single, would jokingly tell her friends that if Mr. Right didn't come along, she would have to take matters into her own hands and have a child on her own. However, as she entered her thirties, the joke turned into a reality, and she began researching sperm banks and fertility clinics.

Liv's Alone is an honest and hopeful memoir that delves into the joys and challenges of parenting alone by choice. It dismantles the fairy-tale narrative we are often fed from a young age and grieves the life we thought we were going to have. It also encompasses the process of purchasing sperm from Denmark and bringing a baby into the world.

Guiding readers through the highs and lows with warmth, humor, and understanding, Liv aims to provide a beacon of optimism for women in the same position she was in—late 30s, single, and longing for a baby. This is Liv and Herb's story, but hopefully, it will resonate with readers in their own ways.
