Audiobook! Chapter 20 – A THEORY OF EXPANDED LOVE

L  I L Y

“But how could one moment of seeing your baby be enough? The moment is over so soon, and then the baby is gone for the rest of your life.”

– Annie Shea in Chapter 20, from A THEORY OF EXPANDED LOVE

See TRAILER for the novel, A THEORY OF EXPANDED LOVE

It’s 1963 and teen mums with babies born ‘out of wedlock’ are separated from their babies at birth. In this chapter from A THEORY OF EXPANDED LOVE, a young teen gives birth to a baby girl and the next day, desperately wants to see her newborn, before the adoptive parents come to claim her. 

Annie and & her two sisters visit their friend, Bee Bee in the hospital. Annie, “a runty 12” (so she won’t be suspected), scouts the nursery to see if she can sneak Bee Bee in to see her baby. Instead, Annie converses with a young couple as they meet and claim their adoptive baby. The baby’s name is Lily. 

A THEORY OF EXPANDED LOVE is my first novel, the fictionalized story of an enormous family of Catholics in Pasadena, in 1963. Here are some early reviews of this popular book

KENNEDY GIRL takes place five years later, 1968, in Southern California during the turmoil of the late Sixties and takes a journey up the coast of California to Canada during the Vietnam War. The novel is on its own journey towards being published; thereafter I will be creating an audiobook.
