When Hope Becomes Life by Susan A Ring

IN THIS ASTONISHING follow up story from Book One, The Unexpected Mother, Susan Ring a single mother of two, is at a photo shoot for O, The Oprah Magazine in 2003 invited to share her story with the world.

She ends up spending an entire decade of her forties being a surrogate mother for other families. As with many love stories, things start to fall apart and she realizes surrogacy has become an obsession.

Susan longs for a single why to her pregnancy past but finds many complex reasons. She forges ahead to find answers deep within herself and wants what is missing from her life.

She finds what she never expected.
