**Delicious, funny and touching, *From Here to Maternity* is Sinéad Moriarty's final installment of Emma Hamilton's struggles to become a mother.**
'Brilliantly eccentric and utterly charming - we love this!' *OK Magazine*
**
* From Here to Maternity* tells the story of Emma Hamilton who embarks on the path to adopting a baby when she and her husband can't conceive. Just as Emma Hamilton and her husband James become parents of an eight-month-old Russian baby, Yuri, they find out that Emma is pregnant. Which is a bit of a shock since they had come to terms with not being able to have children.
Emma discovers that having her dreams come true brings a whole new set of problems as she is faced with well-meaning friends and family - and not-so-well-meaning maternity Nazis - telling her how to be a mother.
Only her wonderful calm long-suffering husband, a mad family that makes her look like the down-to-earth sensible one, and fantastic friends whose lives are even crazier than her own, keep Emma from losing it.
'Enjoyable and endearing' *Closer*
*'* [Moriarty has] an unexpected flair for side-splitting humour and fun' *Evening Herald*
