Will make you laugh out loud one minute and wipe away a rogue tear the next - Heat

TicktockticktockTICKTOCK ... That's Emma Hamilton's biological clock you can hear. She wants a baby and she wants one NOW. But when Mother Nature refuses to play ball, Emma decides to give her a prod - or two.

Soon her life is a roller-coaster of post-sex handstands (you can't argue with gravity), hormone-inducing (sanity-reducing) drugs and a veritable army of probing specialists (torturers, more like). It's out with the booze and spontaneous sex, in with green tea and ovulation tests.

Emma couldn't have conceived that the road to pregnancy would turn into the mother of all journeys. But she's finding out that once you're on the baby trail, nothing is sacred - and one way or another, life will never be the same again ...

Praise for The Baby Trail

Will make you laugh out loud one minute and wipe away a rogue tear the next

Heat

Moriarty's Emma has the wit of Sex and the City's Carrie Bradshaw, mixed with the Murphy's Law luck of Bridget Jones

Irish Independent

Very funny, with a cast of wonderful supporting characters and an unpredictable ending. Marian Keyes, you have some competition

RTÉ Guide

The pace is fast and furious ... a real page-turner

Irish Tatler

Honest and funny

U Magazine

Lots of tears and even more laughs ... a confident debut

Irish Times

Funny - side-splittingly so, which is a difficult balance to strike considering the weight of the subject matter

Ireland on Sunday

Mix Bridget Jones with Charlotte from Sex and the City and you've got Emma, the charming heroine of The Baby Trail, and a funny, feisty guide through the realities and hilarities of twenty-first century baby-making. A terrific read ...

Jennifer Weiner
