Synopsis

You know the pregnancy was a mess…

when Oprah hears your story and wants it for O Magazine…twice!

Would Susan, a single mother of two, survive the oddest surrogate motherhood debacle ever?

It wasn’t her first time carrying the couple’s baby. Their son, Evan, was healthy and delightful. When the couple decided they wanted a second child, Susan was happy to be their surrogate again.

Contracts were signed.

The miracle happened…thrice.

It was the first trimester when Susan found out the couple were getting a divorce, there was an undisclosed history of mental disorder, and they were filing for bankruptcy. They were in breach of contract. She was carrying triplets.

Susan’s world collapsed around her…

…and then it got worse.

You’ll be enthralled by this true story of one surrogate mother’s 9-month journey, because it has more twists and turns than a Hollywood thriller!

Get it now.

Biographie de l'auteur

Susan Ring had two deep seated dreams as a child. One was to become a mother, and the other was to be a writer. She became a mother to two boys and loved pregnancy so much she became a surrogate mother to five different families giving birth to eight babies (singleton, twins, twins, singleton, twins). She was a single mother then and admits it's a long story, but she'd love to take you along on her surrogacy journeys. Knowing she couldn't stay pregnant forever, she found love at forty-nine, remarried and yes, had another baby at fifty-two! Her second dream called, and she had no idea where to start writing, or if she could write, she took a pen to paper, and eventually took on a Mac Book Pro. Five years later on Mother's Day 2017, The Unexpected Mother was born. It was a long, anticipated birth, and many trips between Salt Lake City and California. She currently lives in Salt Lake City with her husband, daughter and their two interactive cats. Her two grown boys live in Los Angeles. She's working on the next memoir and it will be out mid to late 2017.
