Welcome to Litsy!

The Zygote Chronicles, by the author of the best-seller Otherwise Engaged, is a riotous and poignant novel in journal form that spans the nine-month roller-coaster ride of pregnancy. Through the voice of a whip-smart, sass-talking everywoman whose sense of humor is as wicked as her food cravings, Zygote reveals the unsettling and uproarious truth about pregnancy and the prospect of motherhood. What unfolds is like a series of X rays into a pregnant woman's soul, mind, and appetites. She captures the many sensory changes her body goes through with uncanny precision and crackling wit, and ponders why her once storybook marriage to the man she waited for all her life suddenly undergoes an alchemical transformation every time he eats garlic or onions.
