(ePrintWire.Org) – Lyric poet and songwriter F.
Robert Lea today announced the release of his third book, Surrogate, published by
Outskirts Press, a story of unusual fates and ironic coincidences that bring together
two couples as they try to solve their dilemma of surrogate parenting.
“Just because there was one deranged woman, who wanted to cause trouble, doesn’t make
surrogate parenting a bad idea,” Sue said to her boss one afternoon; and so begins the
remarkably creative solution these two work out between themselves and their spouses in
order to bring into the world the newborn who otherwise couldn’t have arrived through the
efforts of Sue and her husband alone.
Fearing she has overstepped her bounds, Sue worries the next morning that she’ll be
reprimanded or fired. Instead, the two of them put their heads together to come up with a
plan to provide Sue and her husband with the child they have been trying unsuccessfully to
conceive.
The story of how these two couples are ultimately able to work out their relationships
will provide readers with a unique and entertaining look at the pitfalls looming in the
unconventional landscape of surrogate parenting.
