About From Here to Paternity
Will Jackson is a desperate man – desperate to be a dad, that is. Tired of his laddish lifestyle, he’s redecorated the spare room, traded in his sports car for a 4x4, and even drawn up a list of his favourite baby names. In fact, there’s only one thing left to do – find a female to start a family with. But where can he meet the woman who meets his exacting standards? Fortunately you can get everything on the internet these days, so why not someone to start a family with?
From Friends Reunited through the weird world of online dating, even to auctioning his ‘services’ on eBay, Will’s journey to paternity is a hilarious romp through the pitfalls of procreation. But when push comes to shove, is he prepared to trade passion for Pampers? What do men really look for when it comes to starting a family? Can the perfect mother also be the perfect partner? Or is there more to life than a nice-fitting pair of genes?
