THE BABY
A Novel by Caren Cross
Richard Cadbury has never been a good man. A high school dropout turned lumber mill worker, his reputation in Kenosha is as splintered as the wood he cuts-thrice divorced, quick to anger, and feared for his violent outbursts, especially toward people of color. His weekends are spent at Dragon's Sports Bar, drowning in whiskey and chasing women who don't yet know what he's capable of.
Then Christina Ferguson walks back into his life. The one girl from Brookville Trailer Park who made something of herself-a doctor, sophisticated, untouchable. When she shares her secret, that she's pregnant and alone, Richard sees a chance at redemption. He swears he'll love her, protect her, and raise the child as his own.
But six months after their wedding, Christina gives birth to a baby with deep brown skin and curls as dark as night. In an instant, Richard's world tilts. The love he swore was unconditional is tested in ways neither of them could have imagined. As old demons claw their way to the surface, Richard is forced to face the truth of who he is-and who he's willing to become.
In a town where hate runs deep and forgiveness is a foreign language, The Baby is a gripping, provocative tale of race, redemption, and the power of love to challenge everything we think we know.
