The Love Child




Is there life with children?
Is there life without them?Serena gave up a career she loved for her two small children, and now she's going stir-crazy. With a workaholic husband, a motley crew of mothers' group for companions, and the awful possibility that she's pregnant again, she's fighting the temptation to run. Ana, child-free, is aiming to be senior columnist at the Morning Star, searching for Mr Right, and dealing with a mother who's rewriting her past. Does she really need to learn to Wiggledance as well?Both women believe they're free to shape their own destinies. That's until the mysterious tides of life and death come flooding in, changing everything. A funny, touching, bittersweet story about two friends struggling to reconcile their once-lofty expectations with the messy reality of their adult lives.
