Not exactly... though you have the best intentions at heart and truly mean well, you may be missing the mark. But, fear not! This book is your crash-course in supporting your person through their journey to baby. From IVF to IUI and all the awkward conversations and confusing medical procedures in between. The Waiting Line breaks it down in a simple, quick-read that will leave you empowered, confident and ready to truly help. PRAISE FOR THE WAITING LINE "This book is a much needed guide for family and friends who have a loved one dealing with infertility. There have been a number of times in my life where I could have really benefited from the wisdom shared in this book. The book is an easy read and the author speaks from experience with such heart to her audience, making the book much more relatable." -Maria Dismondy, Cardinal Rule Press Publishing House & Children's Book Author"Like advice from a caring friend. This little e-book packs a lot of great advice! I loved the "conversational" format as it made me feel like I was talking with a non-judgmental friend. It's hard to know the best way to support someone you care for who's dealing with infertility. The author intersperses humor and understanding in discussion of this sensitive subject. This approach relieves the reader of any guilt for past mistakes and builds confidence for saying and doing the right thing when offering support. I will definitely use this caring advice as my guide if needed in the future." -C.R. Grand Rapids, MI

How we wait, why we wait, what we wait for—waiting in line is a daily indignity that we all experience, usually with a little anxiety thrown in (why is it that the other line always moves faster?!?). This smart, quirky, wide-ranging book (the perfect conversation starter) considers the surprising science and psychology—and the sheer misery—of the well-ordered line. On the way, it takes us from boot camp (where the first lesson is to teach recruits how to stand rigidly in line) to the underground bunker beneath Disneyland’s Cinderella Castle (home of the world’s most advanced, state-of-the-art queue management technologies); from the 2011 riots in London (where rioters were observed patiently taking their turns when looting shops), to the National Voluntary Wait-in-Line days in the People’s Republic of China (to help train their non-queuing populace to wait in line like Westerners in advance of the 2008 Olympics). Citing sources ranging from Harvard Business School professors to Seinfeld, the book comes back to one underlying truth: it’s not about the time you spend waiting, but how the circumstances of the wait affect your perception of time. In other words, the other line always moves faster because you’re not in it.
