About this ebook

While at university in New Zealand, Jemma Howell’s boyfriend Barry dies, leaving her devastated, alone and pregnant. She can’t tell her mother in England – this is 1963 – leaving her vulnerable to a social worker’s pressure to give up her child. The social worker’s solution? Barry’s wealthy parents will adopt the baby, on the condition Jemma will never see her child again.
Jemma cannot forget her little girl. She haunts the village where Barry’s parents live until she spots the baby asleep in her pram, the nanny inside a shop. Unable to stop herself and with a hammering heart, Jemma wheels the pram away. She makes a momentous decision: she won’t give up her baby ever again.

Can she do it? Keep her child and bring her up? In spite of two highly competent policeman who are determined to catch a kidnapper?

A ‘must-read’ book, Bye Baby Bunting is an emotionally compelling story that will stay with you forever.

Bye Baby Bunting
Author

Tannis Laidlaw

Tannis has worn many hats: occupational therapist in her early days, psychologist, university researcher and lecturer at various universities and medical schools and now author. She's written many first drafts which are safely stored on her hard drive (perhaps, one day, to be revised...) but she has published four novels and two books of short stories. Two of the novels are in paperback as well as ebook format. She lives with her husband in various places: two homes in New Zealand - a town house in Auckland and an adobe beach house on an isolated bay in Northland - and, to take full advantage of the northern summer, a tiny summer cottage (off the grid and boat-access only) on a remote lake in North-western Ontario in Canada. All are places perfect for writing.
