To Have or Not to Have Children?

To have children or not?

Ruth Manus does not offer miracle solutions, but rather companionship. For this major question — which occupies café tables, therapy sessions, and sleepless nights for so many women —, there are no right answers, but there are conversations that shed light.

With gentleness, irony, and a rare generosity, Ruth opens the doors to real life — her own and that of so many women — to talk about desire, doubt, fear, pressure, love, and exhaustion. Amidst data, stories, and welcoming reflections, she questions taboos and embraces those who are already mothers, those who are determined to have children, those who do not want them at all, and, above all, those who live in that grey area of "maybe".

Above all, she shows that every choice deserves respect. After all, there is no ideal path, only the possible path — and every woman has the sovereign right to forge her own, without patrolling nor written argument.
