What happens to the father of a thirteen-year-old son when he discovers that he has been infertile all his life?
On his quest to discover the biological father of his son, Armin Minderhout takes the listener on an extraordinary journey. From the day he first met the love of his life, Monika, to the moment, only five years later, when he loses her to a fatal illness; from the tortuous and hilarious moments of adult relationship to the intimate, tender rapport with the little boy he believed to be his son—Armin is forced to reconsider everything he has ever believed in.
