Family Matters by Claire Baker book cover

A novel by Claire Baker

Family Matters

One impulsive night. One impossible choice.

Manchester, 1986. Trainee solicitor Clodagh McNamara is coming undone — and one reckless night is about to change everything. Caught between her strict Catholic upbringing and the views of Cosmopolitan, Clodagh must decide whether ambition or motherhood will define her future.

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.
