GUUD Books are books about topics that are tough to speak about. GUUD means (according to the scholarly resource- the urban dictionary) really really good- as in chocolate AND marshmallows as in sunshine and blue skies every day as in YASSSSSSS and thank you very much). We hope you enjoy and are open to writing about topics you would like to hear about. Shoot us an email at newideas@guudbooks.com and we will add it to the list. Until then....keep things GUUD and be well.
Our characters are just like you- fun sweet and spicy and sometimes a little bitter. They are relatable and will remind you of people in your life- maybe even the person you see in the mirror.
Everyone deals with infertility differently. Some don't struggle. Others suffer. Characters in our books are just like everyone else- they handle the stresses of family building in different ways and provide suggestions on how you may handle situations.
Sometimes it's embarrassing to admit that we have hard moments- but it's a real thing. Avoiding baby showers and events with pregnant women, crashing (physically and emotionally) on Mother's day and boycotting other large family celebrations are things many without infertility don't think about. The folks in Guud Books deal with all of this and show you how you may handle and even OVERCOME in these situations...
Are there questions about tough topics that you've considered but never mustered the courage to ask out loud? Our characters ask and this will serve as a chance for you to discuss these tough topics with your loved ones.

"A tireless advocate for those struggling with fertility challenges as well as one who has experienced infertility firsthand, Dr. Camille Hammond, has done an amazing job making that which is often hard to talk about, more palatable while reminding readers that they are not alone. If you are looking for a good book that speaks to the heart of and reality of the issue of infertility, then you will want to read this book as it is GUUD for the heart, mind and soul."
Founder/President of Fertility for Colored Girls
Beautifully illustrated, Guud is a simplified exploration of the complex emotions and treatment most couples with infertility experience. Guud’s message that you are not alone and parenthood will happen with perseverance is validating and inspirational to anyone in the journey!

"This book speaks to the journey, thoughts, and emotions that individuals and couples feel and experience but can't share. It tells the truth about this journey from a real perspective..."
Regional Director of the North Eastern Region, Bethany Christian Services
"Several biblical heroes were birthed out of infertility. We believe that God has a special blessing for those who are faced with this. As a couple who has gone through infertility, this is a great read and support for getting through the challenges of building your family"
Regional Director of the North Eastern Region, Bethany Christian Services
"The GUUD Book about Faith and Fertility offers a light hearted approach to a difficult subject while capturing the essence of the infertility journey. It captures the confusion and heartache that is experienced while offering hope. I can't wait to share it."
The Waiting Room Ministry, Wheeler Avenue Baptist Church
"The GUUD Book About Infertility... endows hopeful parents with the truest sense for the sacrifices we make, the tradeoffs we weigh and the emotional storms we weather."
CoFounder, Fertility IQ
"Many people suffer too long with pain from OA. This book is an easy read for those looking for alterative or conservative treatments. There are lots of Jens in the world, and many are male, so the message is clear: Go to the doctor, discuss all of your options and make good decisions. A few years ago, of the one million knees and hips replaced in the USA, only 2% were African-Americans. There are several reasons for this, but mostly it is a distrust of medical institutions. Dr. Hammond sees this story and therefore told it from a complex vantage point. A necessary read for all."
Professor of Biology and Director of the Skeletal Research Center at Case Western Reserve University
Lifetime Achievement Awardee, National Center for Regenerative Medicine
"This book is so remarkable that I read it from the first word to the last in one sitting. Both the story and the drawings are amazing."
Executive Director ON Foundation
"A graphic novel is a nice, unique way to convey the information to patients, not just in regard to stem cells, but for other treatment options and procedures, as well."

Just because we put a great product together doesn't mean it has to be expensive! This Book was an outpouring of love from my own journey, and experience as a doctor dealing with infertility. I wanted everyone to be able to afford their own GUUD book, and be able to give them as gifts and not have to worry about the cost or worrying about compromised quality.
