Baby Proof: A Novel

Claudia Parr is a successful editor at a Manhattan publishing house and a devoted sister, aunt, and friend. She has never wanted to become a mother, which becomes a significant obstacle to marriage—something she deeply desires. She meets Ben, who shares her feelings about parenthood, and the two fall in love and marry, committed to a life of adventure and discovery together. Their agreement is tested when one of them experiences a change of heart and wants to have a baby after all. The novel explores what happens to this couple when they suddenly want different things and no compromise exists. It examines the lengths people go for each other, the choices about what matters most in life, and what people will and won't do for love.
