'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.' (Publisher's blurb)
