Amy Stokes is no Bridget Jones. There's no ticking biological clock and no desire to exchange her single status for anything more than a quick fling. She is a 39-year-old successful businesswoman, with a close group of friends and no desire to change her life. Amy is surrounded by people getting married, having children or desperate- ly trying to. Yet even having her own business, P̀recious Little Darlings', a store that stocks designer baby goods, has not caused Amy's maternal instincts to kick in. To her, she has it all. It takes the death of her beloved dog Germaine, beneath the wheels of her own car, and the wholly unexpected arrival of a baby on her doorstep, to force Amy to re-address her priorities. She embarks on a mission to get pregnant before her 40th birthday, a task that proves harder than she ever imagined.
