The Baby - Tales of Neglect - A Short Story Collection: A harrowing collection of stories about abandoned babies

As we journey through life there is perhaps one sacred duty that is more important than any other; to protect the young in their earliest years.
However, society is riven with poverty and fractured with many undermining forces that create uncertainty and neglect in the lives of many families and the babies that depend upon them for love, nurture and security in their young lives.

In this volume our classic authors bring you narratives with characters so young, so dependent, that despair and heartbreak will overwhelm the natural desire to help.
