A novel of midlife motherhood and the basis for the TV movie starring Carol Burnettâfrom the #1 New York Timesâbestselling author of Gentlemanâs Agreement. Dori Grayâmarried, then divorced, age forty, professional journalistâhad given up hope of a child. A botched abortion left her functionally infertile, and after a string of bad relationships, Doriâs prospects have seemingly dwindled to naught. Then comes the astonishing revelation that she is pregnantâby her married ex-lover. Doriâs options are limited. Fearful that her doctor will decline to oversee an illegitimate birth, or that sheâll be forced into a hermitlike existence until the child is born, Dori confides in her married best friend, Celia Duke. Surprised by Celiaâs confidence and support, Dori decides to confront her predicament head-on.
