The new novel
Leila has been waiting to be a mother ever since she lost her own. Now shes pregnant, its bittersweet. Her partner isnt sure hes ready for fatherhood and she doesnt know if she can have this baby by herself.
Erica is used to being a tower of strength for other women: its a privilege to help children into this world. When shes assigned to Leila, though, a chance conversation reveals a secret connection between the two women.
Living far from the closest hospital, Erica suggests a homebirth but as they start to build a birth-plan, Leila begins to realise her midwife has a very different idea of whats going to happen. As the weeks tick down, Erica always seems to be at Leilas side. Caring, watching, waiting
When the day finally comes and Erica turns the dial on the gas and air shes brought along, Leila realises shes left it far too late to run.
