The wife of actor/comedian Denis Leary offers a hilarious and moving account of the unexpected premature birth of their son during what was supposed to be a weekend trip to London. n nWhen Ann Leary and her husband, then unknown actor-comedian Denis Leary, flew to London in the early nineties for a brief getaway during Anns second trimester of pregnancy, neither anticipated the adventure that was in store for them. The morning after their arrival, Anns water broke as they strolled through Londons streets. A week later their son, Jack, was born weighing only two pounds, six ounces, and it would be five long months before mother and son could return to the States.n nIn the meantime, Ann became an unwitting yet grateful hostage to Britains National Health Service -- a stranger in a strange land plunged abruptly into a world of breast pumps and midwives, blood oxygen levels, mad cow disease, and poll tax riots. Desperately worried about the health of her baby, Ann struggled to adapt to motherhood and make sense of a very different culture. At once an intimate family memoir, a lively travelogue, and a touching love story, An Innocent, a Broad is utterly engaging and unforgettable.n
