It should be the most natural thing in the world. But in Tony Parsons' latest bestseller, three couples discover that Mother Nature can be one hell of a bitch
A hard-working trainee doctor, Megan Jewell finds herself accidentally pregnant. She wants a baby one day - but God, not now! Can Megan really bring a baby into the world when she can hardly look after herself?
Megan's happily married sister Jessica wants a baby - immediately. But her husband Paolo is worried. He loves his wife and he sees what a baby is doing to his brother's marriage.
Cat Jewell, the oldest sister, is scarred by the memory of their mother walking out. She wants a baby - maybe. But what's a girl to do when the man in her life has seen and done it all before? Rory already has a teenage son. The last thing he wants is to start changing nappies.
Tony Parsons shows us once again the dilemmas and decisions that confront men today.
Modern-day relationships are tested in this very realistic, contemporary story about procreation and new life.

`One of the finest books published this year... Hilarious and tear-jerking in turns' Express
Praise for One for my Baby:
`One For My Baby is stylish, polished, complex and it really gets its teeth into the big issues of sex, love, family and friendship.' The Mirror
