A Book Is Born: The Sisterhood of Motherhood Is Published!

I explore the emotions of surrogacy and family building in my novella, The Sisterhood of Motherhood, now available in ebook format from online booksellers. 

As the protagonist, Bethany, steps up to be a gestational surrogate for her sister-in-law amid infertility and cancer, she steps beyond her comfort zone. Navigating medical and legal challenges, shifting family dynamics, and doubts about her motives, Bethany’s surrogacy becomes an exercise in resilience, sacrifice, and the unbreakable bonds of sisterhood. The Sisterhood of Motherhood reminds readers of the strength that grows from women supporting women.

What made me write this book? I wanted to show that surrogacy is a solution for infertility but not the perfect solution for every family. Be the first to hold this baby, I mean, book.
