This arrangement suited me just fine until my twenty-ninth birthday...was it -- my last year of freedom?...as always seems to happen after a group of moms exchange horror stories, someone asked in that familiar, cajoling tone, ‘So when can we expect a baby from you rachael?’I’ve come to welcome this question as a compliment and invitation of sorts. But pushing thirty left me with fewer acceptable responses, and the truth -- that I’m absolutely, inexplicably terrified of motherhood -- was too embarrassing to speak out loud”(Rachel Evans, xv)

We’d seen what a few diaper bags and car seat could do to this situation… But it wasn’t just my friends pushing procreation; it was my church.”(Rachel Evans, xv-xvi)

Without procreating, I believe, my contribution to the church didn’t really count.” (Rachel Evans, 178)

Thereby successfully disappointing everyone except my mother, who was just happy to see the phrase when I have a baby on my facebook wall.” (Rachel Evans,177)
