Jeremy’s Baby

By Jennifer Chapman

Jeremy and Angel. Paul and Marsha. The two couples have been the greatest of friends for years, with their lives following the relatively smooth path of upward mobility. Until a single moment of madness during a long weekend together changes their friendship and lives forever…

Marsha, a much loved television cook, never thought she would be a mother. Her decision to keep the baby will test her friendships to the limit and threaten to wreck her marriage. For Paul, it’s merely history repeating itself. For Angel, it signifies the end of a perfect home and a perfect marriage. And for Jeremy, it’s the beginning of a wave of emotions he just can’t come to terms with.

They all seemed so successful and sophisticiated. They all thought they were on the right path. But when it comes to something so commonplace as having a baby, all four are hopelessly and utterly lost. As they try to readjust their values, will the two couples be equipped to deal with a sudden event that forces real change?

Jennifer Chapman, whose writing has been likened to Deborah Moggach, Rachel Billington and Penelope Lively, is the author of an acclaimed sequence of contemporary novels published by Endeavour Media, including The Long Weekend, Mysterious Ways, Not Playing the Game and Regretting It.
