After a lifetime of ambivalence about becoming a mother (and uncertainty about the role of the mother in contemporary society) Rebecca Walker decided to have a baby. As a member of the generation who believe in "having it all", a career and a baby, she came to realise that having a baby can mean losing oneself in caring for another. Yet, having a baby is also the most meaningful experience of Walker's life and her own story becomes that of an entire generation. From the challenge of creating her own family when she was a child of divorce to the arduous process of conceiving Rebecca Walker's story is also that of ten of thousands of women.
