In Liv's Alone, author Liv Thorne retells her journey to solo motherhood through a sperm donor, recounting the decision to become a parent on her own, the medical process, and the first few years as a single parent.

Many children grow up singing the old song, 'first comes love, then comes marriage, then comes baby in a baby carriage.' This may cement the idea that there is only one way to become a parent.

But what do you do if you've always known you wanted a baby but never found someone to have one with?

In Liv's Alone, author and web designer Liv Thorne shines a light on a different way to become a mother through a sperm bank.

While Thorne's journey may seem unconventional, it's no less valid or beautiful.
