The Umbilical Word

He hugged her when she needed it. He kissed her unannounced. He cracked up at her rude puns. He got horny over her untouchable body. He eagerly reported dreams in which he remained faithful to her and he changed the channel when Halle Berry appeared on TV. He met her every requirement without overt complaint. He promised the suffering would end. And he still got down on both knees. After a series of miscarriages, Adam and Maddy manage to get pregnant. To 'personify and self-actualise' his fatherhood, Adam decides to email their unborn child. To his surprise, "B" gets his message at womb@almighty.com and replies. Then, in Week 29, "B" stops corresponding. What's happened? Brace yourself for the unexpected! The Umbilical Word is a contemporary novel about chasing dreams, confronting loss and discovering what's important in life. A must-read for every parent and parent-to-be.
