The Surrogate

Marina Bonnaserra, a single registered nurse realizes that her life lacks meaning. Prodded on by a series of piercing comments, she considers having a child. Knowing that the only man in her life is non-committal, and against fatherhood, she decides on in vitro fertilization - IVF. In the very corporate world of IVF, Marina is stimulated to produce eggs, assigned a sperm donor, and awaits implantation. She soon discovers that some of her fertilized eggs may be missing, leading her to a quest against corporate greed to locate these "products of conception."This interpersonal medical fiction will appeal to anyone who has contact with healthcare professionals. Nurses, office staff, paramedics, administrators, doctors and most of all patients will immediately recognize all these characters, their bizarre actions and perhaps relate to their sometimes irrational, emotional behavior. You will be left wondering what is fiction, what actually occurred, and what the author left out.
