Barefoot and Pregnant

This collection of short stories dares to explore dysfunctional motherhood. While attempting to look beyond the conventional, it uncovers, along the way, a victim of gang-rape to whom the baby means legal advice, a doomed woman's last fling, the imminently pregnant beggar at traffic lights, the loss of a child either by disappearance or by death, surrogate mothers and even a man who longs to give birth.
