One woman’s story of swimming the Channel in search of the meaning of motherhood
'This book will help so many people' Positive Fertility
An Outdoor Swimming Society Book of the Year 2018
After a decade of trying and failing to become a mother, Jessica Hepburn knew it was time to do something different. So she decided to swim twenty-one miles across the English Channel – no easy feat, especially for someone who couldn't swim very well. As the punishing training schedule commenced, Jessica learned you need to put on weight to stave off the cold. This gave her the idea to meet and eat with a collection of inspiring women, and ask them: does motherhood make you happy?

From baronesses and professors to award-winners and record-breakers, each of the women had compelling truths to tell about fulfilment and the meaning of motherhood.

Jessica is an award-winning author, arts producer and adventure activist, and one of the UK’s leading voices on fertility, family and endurance sport. In 2018 she was nominated as an Amnesty International ‘Woman of Suffragette Spirit’ and won the Fertility Foundation’s inaugural ‘Fertility Hero’ Award. She is the author of two books – The Pursuit of Motherhood and 21 Miles – and also writes and speaks widely in the press and media and at public events on the subject of fertility. She was the Executive Director of one of London’s leading theatres – the Lyric Hammersmith – before going on to establish Fertility Fest - the world’s arts festival dedicated to fertility. www.jessicahepburn.comwww.fertilityfest.com Twitter: @jessicapursuit Instagram jessica_hepburn_
