Kate is not in a meaningful relationship, but dreams of being a parent, and pouring all her love into the tiny bundle of happiness that will her love unconditionally in return. Except without any partner on the horizon before her ovaries retire, Kate decides to take matters into her own hands and have one anyway.
No one thinks this is a good idea; not her best friend, or her boss at the bookshop where she works â not even June, one of her elderly customers. Because what they can see, and what Kate canât, is that it isnât a baby that she needs at all â itâs something else entirelyâŚ
