      About This Book

      Elspeth Baker - vibrant, gutsy, irrepressible, single and pregnant. Her lover suggests a back-alley abortion. Her girlfriends recommend mustard and castor oil. Her long-suffering parents rush her to an expensive doctor. But Elspeth sidesteps them all and flees to start a new life, have her baby and find true love. Always a staunch survivor, she sells hardware, pumps gas and encounter a colorful array of unabashed Bostonians from rabbis to shrink to hoods to a young couple who propel her toward the most crucial decision of her self-made life. The Love of Elspeth Baker is a rich, energetic and uplifting novel of a truly modern woman who knows what she wants and ultimately has the courage to find it.
