Risking It All: A Novel

"Fans of Jodi Picoult and Janelle Brown will enjoy this poignant and thought-provoking novel" of a woman who risks her marriage to have a child (Booklist).

When Marcia, a driven, successful editor in New York with a loving husband, finds she can't conceive a child, it rips the heart out of her seemingly-perfect life. Her desire to be a mother has become her obsession, and after trying and failing to become pregnant by every known method, she focuses all of her energy on her one remaining option: surrogacy. Her husband resists, and tries to convince her that they can be happy without a child; but faced with her unyielding determination, he relents, and reluctantly goes along with the idea. Everything looks good . . . until an unexpected tragedy occurs that changes their plans, their marriage, and their lives forever.
