O, THE OPRAH MAGAZINE'S TOP TEN CHOICE – "The Story That Was Only The Beginning."

A POWERFUL, CHILLING, TRUE STORY ~ Inside the life of surrogate mother Susan Ring, a single mother of two, who learns upon her second journey with the same intended parents, she is pregnant with triplets.

The parents demand a reduction to twins then breach the contract, divorce and abandon Susan and their children at the hospital. They order the hospital to send the twins to social services.

Susan refuses to comply and prepares to fight with no biological ties in a California court.

It is a story of hope, love and letting go. This honest memoir raises the challenging ethical questions that redefine motherhood, and what it means to be a mother in today's complex world of infertility. It recognizes how far advanced science has come, and how the law is lagging far behind.

Above all, it is a story for our times.
