Sarah Kennedy -- the novel
Radio 2 message board poster Nancy Bellis has devoted a large amount of her time to researching and writing a novel all about Sarah. It is not a 'bonkbuster', but it promises to be an exciting and factual read - ideal for the beach. Here is an excerpt from chapter one...
"The sun shone that blessed morning in Cambridge as Barbara Kennedy pushed and pushed. "More sweat fell from my head during that birth than with the twins", Barbara later commented.
Ron held on tight to his wifes hand and whispered tenderly words of encouragement - "Push Barbara, push", Barbara followed his words of advice and her heart pounded as the baby was gradually squeezed out.
After a difficult pregnancy in which two midwives were injured, Sarah Elizabeth Felicity Buntington Kennedy finally plopped out and, according to one source, screamed 'like a crazed banshee' The beautiful bouncing baby, golden locks already in place, veritably shimmered like a new born star.
If only the proud Mrs Kennedy was to know quite how bright this particular star was destined to shine..."
