About this ebook

How much is a baby worth?
A page-turner mystery novel about baby trafficking, set in an isolated mansion in rural Australia. Inspired by true events of the 1970s, the novel is about a pregnant teen who was banished by her parents to Maidenhead, a home for unwed mothers.
What really happened there? What became of the babies? What lies were told?
Above all, what happens forty years later when the truth is finally revealed?
The heart of the mystery always returns to the baby farm.
