During a 2009 interview with Parade magazine, Nia Vardalos the writer and lead actress behind the blockbuster movie, "My Big Fat Greek Wedding," said, "you have to know true sadness to know happiness. And I just believe that in my heart."  The Hollywood heavyweight with several screenplays and leading roles under her belt was opening up about her struggles with infertility.

Now Valdaros will be sharing the journey and happiness she found with the 2008 adoption of her daughter in a book that will be published by HaperOne in April 2013.  That happiness was for her to relish after what she has described as immense grief and sadness over the knowledge that she and her husband Ian Gomez, the actor in "Cougar Town" would not be able to have biological children.

Vardalos who is known for her comedic wit said that writing this book was not easy. "Even though I make fun of my family for profit, I am a private person," she said.  True to her self deprecating humor she also wrote in a 2009 Huffington Post article that "a common misconception is that to get a kid you just have to go to another country and be as pretty as Angelina Jolie. As studio executives and movie reviewers have informed me again and again -- I'm not." 

The book, which has yet to be titled will detail the long and often arduous journey of adoption.  But true to her form, it will also likely be peppered with passages and accounts that will make us laugh out loud.
