When Becky Stokes learned that she couldn't have children, she was devastated. Doctors said corrective surgery could endanger her life and, after thumbing down several other options, she and her husband decided to use a surrogate to produce a child. After the papers were signed, however, nobody, including Becky, could have dreamed what happened next! A story of infidelity and just desserts!

I am not sure how you make a good book in under 30 minutes, But somehow John Jones did it.
pace is good, not to fast, not to slow. Story is good, and yet saddening in some parts. worth a listen if you have 30 minutes to kill, and at the price you can't beat it!

Mr Kiser did a fine job reading this story.

Any additional comments?

The Surrogate by John Isaac Jones was a good quick read. Becky learned that she couldn't have children. Her and her husband along with their family decided to use a surrogate. No one knew what would happen next.

Good read

Short stories are more difficult to write than novels (or any other longer form of written material) and John Jones successfully spins a tale of love, betrayal, and revenge in less than half an hour - a truly impressive feat. It's hard to say more without spoiling the plot but I would recommend this story to just about anyone - it's worthy across genres. The narration itself was good but the quality of the narration was not the best.

Excellent Short Story

This was a nice short story. The plot setting was well done and it read like a true crime sort of story to me. I would like to see it expanded into a larger book, actually. I think it would be really creepy.

This book was given to me for free at my request for my voluntary and unbiased review.
