An astonishing new novel based on one of history's most shocking untold stories when, in 1926, women were asked to bear children to earn a fortune

Toronto, 1926.

A millionaire leaves an astonishing will- his fortune will go to the winner of a contest known as 'The Great Stork Derby', the woman who bears the most children in the ten years following his death.

Lily di Marco is pregnant and terrified when she arrives in Toronto having fled her violent husband. Taken in by glamorous Mae Thebault, the two women become inseparable - looking out for one another in a world where men hold all the power.

But as the Great Depression bites and the Great Stork Derby grips the nation - the two friends become fierce rivals.

If only one woman can win, what will the contest cost the other?
