Countless

By Karen Gregory

Heartbreaking, life-affirming, brave and bold - Karen Gregory&#39;s debut is a completely different kind of love story.  &#39;Is there anything that&#39;s concerning you?&#39; Felicity says. &#39;College, home, boyfriends?&#39; Though she&#39;s more or less smiling at this last one.I don&#39;t smile. Instead, I feel my face go hot. Silence stretches as wide as an ocean. When I look up, Felicity has this expression on her face like she&#39;s just seen Elvis. Slowly, she leans forward and in a gentle voice I&#39;ve never heard her use before she says, &#39;Have you done a pregnancy test?&#39; When Hedda discovers she is pregnant, she doesn&#39;t believe she could ever look after a baby. The numbers just don&#39;t add up. She is young, and still in the grip of an eating disorder that controls every aspect of how she goes about her daily life. She&#39;s even given her eating disorder a name – Nia. But as the days tick by, Hedda comes to a decision: she and Nia will call a truce, just until the baby is born. 17 weeks, 119 days, 357 meals. She can do it, if she takes it one day at a time … Heartbreaking and hopeful by turns, Karen Gregory&#39;s debut novel is a story of love, heartache and human resilience. And how the things that matter most can&#39;t be counted. Fans of Lisa Williamson, Sara Barnard and Sarah Crossan will fall in love with Karen&#39;s writing.
