A 'Romeo and Juliet' story of student romance, featuring a conflict of family cultures and a medical mystery, Baby, Baby, the first in the Mullins Family Sagas, can also be read as a stand-alone novel.
When Jenny, daughter of flamboyant fertility specialist Dr John Guthrie, re-meets old flame Max Mullins in the maternity unit where her step sister Daze just gave birth, the pair set out to discover the truth about the strange baby. And hearts are entwined again. But when Max takes Jenny home to meet the family, she discovers cultural differences which could perilize any hope of a forever relationship.
A beautiful, warm, and quietly humorous look at overcoming learned prejudices, accepting diversity, and supporting each other in growing and becoming the next generation.The novel open-mindedly explores the world of genetic and fertility research and of belief, both secular and spiritual, based on the author's studies of contemporary sociology and of faith groups.
'A highly original and easy to read novel . . . includes surprises and twists that I didn't see coming, and in the second half in particular it reads almost like a thriller'
