2010
Caroline can't get pregnant, Janet can't hold a pregnancy, Natalie's sperm donor is a stoner with a bad attitude and Ronnie is, well, no one knows Ronnie's story. When the women meet in an infertility group, they quickly
form a firm - if slightly odd - friendship and their lives begin to change.
1976
When 16-year-old Catherine's pregnancy is revealed, she's sent to a convent to give birth. Her baby is taken from her, and she re-emerges into the world, down but not out, determined to fight back. She finds work, a home and acceptance with gay hairdresser and fellow outsider and her life begins again.
Waiting for the Miracle is story about finding your tribe, at any age. It's about love, loss, friendship and
laughing at yourself. It's about life.
'Takes you on a rollercoaster of emotions...you'll be laughing through your tears at the sharp and funny dialogue' NFOP magazine

'Who will have the happy ever after dream and who will settle for the dream never happening? I raced though it in 2 days to find out.

Wrap yourself up in a duvet and start reading. You won't be disappointed.'
