What do two nice Jewish girls do when they want to start a family? They can marry two nice Jewish boys, or if they happen to be lesbians, they can buy sperm online from California. Buying Dad is a hilarious, edgy, first-person chronicle of a woman engaged in a very alternative family-planning experience.

Harlyn Aizey's story unfolds within the context of her relationshop with her partner, Faith; her mother's cancer diagnosis; and the threat of her own possible infertility. Aizley's wry voice and candid prose embrace this confluence of major life events with the humour and wisdom that make Buying Dad a must-read for any woman who has ever considered ending a lifetime of sleep-filled nights by beginning a lifetime of motherhood.
