Aminah Hart's story of falling in love with the anonymous donor-father of her IVF baby, Leila, captured widespread international media when she was featured on Australian Story. Now, for the first time, this beautiful and courageous woman has written an account of her life which provides a dramatic context for her current situation, taking us from her birth in London to a West Indian father and Australian mother; to her upbringing in Melbourne with her feisty single mom, Helen; through her experience of such terrible tragedy that it would have broken many women; to the joy and happiness of giving birth to Leila at the age of 42, meeting and falling in love with Scott, and their marriage-with Leila as flower girl-in December 2015. How I Met Your Father is the ultimate tale of triumphing over adversity-and grief-by a woman whose bravery is utterly awe inspiring. No one could fail to be moved by Aminah's joy at finally become a mother and then a wife after what transpired in her life.
