About

It was during turbulence while flying home from another doomed In Vitro Fertilization cycle, syringed needle in hand, pants crumpled around her ankles, her ass, bruised purple and yellow like a desert sunset, bouncing against the 747's bathroom wall, when Alexia realized, when contemplating motherhood, this was not what I had imagined.

Alexia was pregnant with only hope for years, enduring failed IVF cycles, ill-fated domestic adoptions, and a misguided trip to Siberia before meeting a sickly baby in a rustic orphanage outside Moscow. The baby's sheer grit had powered his unlikely survival, but could his feisty spirit overcome the challenges that awaited him, or were the experts correct that he might never live a 'normal' life?

Recounted with sincerity and humor, Searching for Pinky is the story of two equally determined spirits on opposite sides of the planet finding each other to form a Family, and of one tiny orphan defying dire predictions to become an unwitting poster child for the notion of never giving up, Pinky, is a reminder that there is magic in the power of love and that Hope is like a game of Whack A Mole, you can pound it down in one place and up it pops in another.
