{"product_id":"9781761632389-secondhand-wait-here","title":"Wait Here","description":"A dazzling collection of hilarious and  heart-wrenching stories united by  a groundbreaking theme: each is a sidelong glance at the lives of women  who - either by choice or by circumstance  - will never be mothers and who feel  every way it is possible to feel about it.  A dancer discovers she can never have children - a revelation that pales in comparison to the other ways her body has betrayed her. Two elderly sisters who've been inseparable throughout life make a momentous decision. A wet nurse at Coney Island's infamous 'Incubator Babies' sideshow is haunted by the ghost of her own stillborn daughter. A young woman worries about the lack of male role models in her little niece's life...  For the women in  Wait Here , who can't, don't or won't have children, childlessness is a hard-won prize, a freedom, a stain, a joy, a battle, a trifle, a conundrum, a wound, an uneasy comfort on a burning planet.  It is nothing. It is everything.","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48991548997851,"sku":"9781761632389-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/f086aa32-1a5b-4ca4-95d6-2a795488c3df.jpg?v=1784507419","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/9781761632389-secondhand-wait-here","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
