Swimming In Circles: A Baby Chase Odyssey

Michael C. Barr

Follow the tumultuous and unpredictable path one couple navigate as they painstakingly pursue their options to bring a child into their life, including bewildering science, DNA muddling, and the bureaucratic complexities of international adoption. Swimming in Circles provides an all-access pass into the private life of a couple faced with situations ranging from the embarrassing to the absurd, and decisions that are impossible one moment and incomprehensible the next. This truly unique memoir is told from the man's perspective and is filled with gallows humor peppered in between the depths of disappointment and the peaks of possibility. Author Michael Barr presents every uncomfortable and emotional detail with stark honesty, chronicling his run-ins with an overenthusiastic mother-in-law, a clinically depressed couch, his own personal demons, and even Martha Stewart. His sharp, candid perspective creates a tale that readers are sure to find both hysterical and heartrending.

About the Author

Michael Barr lives in the Pacific Northwest among a throng of beer-loving individuals, and as a result, he lives a particularly content life. He does three things every day: laughs heartily, tells his wife he loves her, and seriously considers therapy.
