Plastering Over the Cracks

Plastering Over the Cracks is set against the backdrop of a couple going through IVF, and brings the reality of the process and its resulting challenges into sharp focus - through the eyes of a young woman on the verge of emotional collapse. As the couple battles, the reader hops through time, listening in as their life together starts to unravel. Sometimes you have to give up on one dream in order to survive - and find a better one. Carrie Sutton wrote Plastering Over the Cracks - her second novel - after her own harrowing experience of the IVF process. She writes to 'shine a light' in this coming-of-age work of creative non-fiction.
