Cryo Kid: Drawing a New Map is an exploration inspired by true experience. Written with insightful humor and a sense of wonder from the perspective of a seventy-something grandmother, it is educational, positive, and eye-opening. The author, Corinne Heather Copnick (Grandma), explores the exponential transformation that has taken place in families in her lifetime, as well as the infertility crisis currently experienced by career women who waited too long to have children. Her own granddaughter, the Cryo Kid of the title, seven years old in 2007, came into being through an anonymous donor from a sperm bank. Against the backdrop of three cities, Montreal, Toronto, and Los Angeles, Cryo Kid is written in several voices (narrators): the author, her daughter, the granddaughter (a gifted child who adds so much joy to their lives), and the sperm donor. It describes the experiences of two of Grandma's daughters, who conceived through assisted-reproduction technology (sperm donors), explores the generational changes in Grandma's own family, and details the remarkable discovery of siblings across the country, as well as the unexpected participation of the donor. The last chapter concerns well-researched future possibilities in assisted reproductive technology. (The word "cryo" is short for cryogenics.) corinne@timesolvers.com
