About the Book

Baby City: An Inside Look into Labor & Delivery by Freida McFadden and Kelley Stoddard is a warm, funny women's fiction novel drawing on the authors' real medical backgrounds to bring readers inside the chaos of a busy hospital maternity ward. There are only three things in this world that are certain: death, taxes, and babies — and nobody knows this truth better than Emily McCoy, a third-year resident working in Baby City, the affectionate nickname for the busy Labor and Delivery unit at a New York City hospital.

On a typical day in Baby City, Emily delivers more babies than the number of hours of sleep she manages to squeeze in that night, and definitely more than the number of dates she's been on since starting her OB/GYN training two years earlier. As Emily juggles round-the-clock deliveries, exhausting hospital politics, and a near-nonexistent personal life, she comes to learn the unshakable hard facts of Baby City: babies never come when you want them to, and babies always come when you don't want them to. Blending genuine medical detail with warmth and comedy, the novel offers an insider's look at the exhausting, chaotic, and often deeply moving world of labor and delivery.

Written before Freida McFadden became a household name in psychological thrillers, Baby City showcases a different side of her writing — the humor and medical insight rooted in her own career as a physician — co-written with fellow author Kelley Stoddard.
