Times Two: Two Women in Love and the Happy Family They Made

TO EVERY GOOD LOVE STORY, THERE IS A TWIST. Times Two is about two women meeting, falling madly in love, and realizing that they are so crazy about each other that they want to have a family together. The fact that they both get pregnant at the exact same time is where things start to get interesting. Sarah Kate Ellis, a high-powered magazine executive, and Kristen Henderson, a laid-back rock star, decide its time to start their family. After determining that Sarah should get pregnant first while Kristen works on her bands new CD, they head to a fertility doctor to start the process. But after months of drug treatments, miscarriages, and heartbreak, Kristen decides to start trying, too. Thats when the utterly improbable happens: Sarah and Kristen find out that they are both pregnantand are due three days apart. Overjoyed by the news that they are both expecting, Sarah and Kristen are also overwhelmed by all that lies ahead. Both have successful, demanding careers. Both have large, close-knit families nearby, including two strongly opinionated mothers who immediately want to be involved with everything . And both are completely clueless about the challenges theyre about to face. They soon realize that none of their previous accomplishments has prepared them for the highs and lows of impending motherhood: not Kristens stint touring with The Rolling Stones, nor Sarahs march up the corporate ladder in the world of womens magazines. They go through everything first-time parents-to-be experiencebut twice over. Theyre producing double the hormones, double the morning sickness, double the cravings, and have double the ups and downs. From the start, Sarah and Kristen think of their babies as twins, each woman carrying half of a set. But for two women whove always finished each others sentences, they suddenly find themselves on opposite ends of the mothers-to-be spectrum, with different opinions on almost everything. One wants a drug-free birth, while the other wants an epidural at the first sign of a contraction. One is dying to know the babys gender, but the other refuses to find out until she hears the babys first cry in the delivery room. The difficulties of having two pregnant women under the same roof are multiplied by the legal and social obstacles of being a gay couple. Told from Kristen and Sarahs insightful and hilarious she said/she said perspective, this touching, modern family adventure will entertain, enlighten, and resonate with readers of all stripes.
