Produktbeschreibung

This comic novella features an easy-going young Manchester United star striker, Billy Atherton. He craves maturity when he is chosen by a lesbian couple, Sarah and Ellen, to father their child. Sarah Eastwood is a charismatic American nurse who discovers Billy when he arrives at her hospital as an emergency case with a horrific football injury. Sarah's instincts scream to her that he is The One.

Billy comes into conflict with his devout Catholic mother when he bravely agrees to be the father of Sarah's child. Sarah mentors Billy using the principle, instilled into her by her American Football coach father, John Eastwood that a great athlete must also be a great person. Billy, Sarah, and their partners are forced to steel themselves when the media start hounding them.

The strong attraction to Billy that Sarah experienced transforms into strong physical love when the pair conceives the child during a special trip to New York. Despite having a long relationship with his childhood sweetheart, Simone, Billy knows that Sarah is The One and that they must be together. Sarah introduces Billy to Jane Austen and Mark Rothko in order to broaden his mind. As time passes their mutual affection becomes a deep, mutual love.
