From the Back Cover:

Hello, I'm Emma. I used to be a happy, level-headed person. I had a great husband, lovely friends, a job I enjoyed and a lively social life - until I decided to have a baby ...

When Mother Nature won't cooperate with Emma Hamilton's plans to get pregnant, Emma decides to help things along. Soon her life is a merry-go-round of post-sex handstands (you can't argue with gravity), hormone-inducing (sanity-reducing) drugs, and a legion of probing specialists. It's out with the booze and spontaneous sex, in with green tea and ovulation tests.

Emma starts to realize that on the baby trail nothing is sacred - and her quest to become a mother may change her life in ways she never expected ...

Praise for The Baby Trail:
