Soon after Jamie thought of a way to make the kind of money she needed was to become a surrogate mother. Jamie made a few calls and finally someone returned her call and told her about a couple who would do anything to have a child. It didn’t take long for the contract to be worked out but she was still a little hesitant with all the rules and putting her schooling away for a year.

One main rule was that she was not to tell one person of what she was agreeing to and she had to live on their ranch completely alone, no privacy, no phone, no computer, no direct mail, and no connection with the staff.
Well it wasn’t long before Jamie was on her journey of nine months of pregnancy. The story was captivating and some times predictable but full of suspense.… (plus d'informations)
