The Surrogate is a thrilling and high-stakes debut novel that revolves around a vulnerable newborn and two women who are willing to go to extreme lengths to claim her as their daughter. With a collection of vividly portrayed characters, this twisty tale will leave readers contemplating the true essence of motherhood long after they finish the last page. I absolutely loved it!
Ruth, a no-nonsense fortysomething journalist from the Midwest, is desperately seeking a child with her new husband, Hal. Their hope lies with Cally, a nineteen-year-old who desires to pursue higher education but lacks the necessary funds. The arrangement seems ideal for all parties involved. However, within a day of the baby's birth, Cally experiences a change of heart and orchestrates a daring escape from the hospital, taking the newborn with her. When Ruth and Hal discover that Cally and their daughter have disappeared, a web of doubts and secrets unravels, blurring the lines between right and wrong.
Set in the vast and sparsely populated upper reaches of northern Minnesota during the middle of winter, The Surrogate follows Ruth, Hal, Cally, and other characters through a series of thought-provoking questions about family, love, and relationships. What would you do for your partner when the going gets tough? How much is a pregnancy "worth"? And who, if anyone, "deserves" to be a mother?
The Surrogate offers a realistic portrayal of surrogacy and motherhood, making it a thought-provoking and compelling novel that will linger with readers long after they finish reading. Toni Halleen's writing is both literary and suspenseful, appealing to fans of psychological thrillers and domestic dramas alike.
