Nicole Louie
Others Like Me is the story of fourteen women around the world, from different walks of life, who don't have children. It's also the story of why Nicole Louie had to find them and what they taught her. Part memoir, part exploration of childlessness through candid conversations, this book showcases the many ways in which women find fulfillment outside of motherhood.
'Deeply felt and deeply researched, books like this will help women decide what is right for them' Rowan Hisayo Buchanan, author of Harmless Like You
Join us for an evening exploring these stories, alternative paths and breaking stereotypes, with author Nicole Louie, hosted by Mairi from Lighthouse.
