Family Matters by Claire Baker book cover

A novel by Claire Baker

Family Matters

One impulsive night. One impossible choice.

Twenty-four-year-old trainee solicitor Clodagh McNamara is coming undone. Her mother is dead, her boyfriend has left, and her estranged father is remarrying. After one reckless night with a stranger, Clodagh finds herself pregnant. Caught between her strict Catholic upbringing and the views of Cosmopolitan, her unofficial bible, she is confused and alone.

About the author

Claire Baker

I am a retired solicitor of Irish descent living in Cheshire with my husband. My two children have recently fled the nest, so I have decided to spend my retirement writing novels — and to this end I have been busy attending writing courses and listening to podcasts.

Family Matters is my debut novel.
