Baby Proof Paperback - 2007

by Emily Giffin

Ever since their first date, when Claudia and Ben both admitted they had no desire for children, their courtship and marriage seemed destined--and then Ben changes his mind: He does want children, after all. This story is about what happens to the perfect couple when they have to face the unexpected twists of a relationship.


From the publisher

Baby Proof Emily Griffin A novel that explores the question: Is there ever a deal-breaker when it comes to true love? Claudia Parr has everything going for her. A successful editor at a publishing house in Manhattan, she's also a devoted sister, aunt, and friend. Yet she's never wanted to become a mother--which she discovers is a major hurdle to marriage, something she desperately wants. Then she meets her soul mate Ben who, miraculously, feels the same way about parenthood. The two fall in love and marry, committed to one another and their life of adventure and discovery. All's well until one of them has a change of heart. Someone wants a baby after all. This is the witty, heartfelt story about what happens to the perfect couple when they suddenly want different things and there is no compromise. It's about deciding what is most important in life and wagering everything to get it. And most of all, it's about the things we will--and won't--do for love.

First line

I never wanted to be a mother.
