The Wolf and the Chrysalis: a Memoir on Infertility, Struggle, and Becoming

The Wolf and the Chrysalis is a touching true story about what it means to want something with your whole heart—and to keep going even when life keeps saying no. Carolyn Dennis takes readers through her eight-year journey with infertility, sharing the hopes, disappointments, and quiet moments of courage that shaped her into the mother she longed to be. Along the way, she faces anxiety, self-doubt, medical challenges, and the emotional weight that comes with waiting for a miracle. But this memoir is not only about infertility. It’s about childhood memories that shaped her, the people who encouraged her, the unexpected signs that guided her, and the strength that grew inside her through every setback. Carolyn shows how life’s hardest seasons can teach us, soften us, and lead us to the place we were meant to reach all along. Told with honesty, warmth, and gentle humor, The Wolf and the Chrysalis is a reminder that even in our darkest moments, we are growing into something new—and beautiful. A hopeful story for anyone who has ever struggled, waited, or wondered if their dream would ever come true. View Less
