Stories of life, love & family from the bestselling author of Baby Love
A distraught father is prevented from comforting his little boy. A baby’s life is put in danger by a well-meaning but offbeat couple. Two mothers fight each other for the love of their son. A couple’s desperation for a child leads to a chain of unpredictable events ...
Robin Barker’s fascination with families over the last six decades – their hopes and disappointments, loves and deceits – is superbly captured in ten acutely observed stories of anguish and triumph.
'These stories cast a fresh bold eye on the familiar: the delight and misery of teenage friendships, the tug of desire for a baby, the complexity of family life, the unpredictability of love. Robin Barker approaches her topics with a clear-eyed gaze and delivers stories that stay in the reader’s mind long after they’ve ended.' -Debra Adelaide
