When Julia agrees to be a surrogate for her ex-husband and his new wife, she finds her capacity for unexpected love in a twist that blurs the boundaries between duty, destiny, and love. She becomes entangled in a strong emotional bond that challenges everything she believed she knew about her heart.

Unexpected turns are a common occurrence in life. Hello, I’m Julia, and I’d like to tell you a little bit about myself. Like many, it begins with Tom and I meeting in high school. Everyone kind of expected us to end up together because we were that cute couple.

We sailed through college side by side, and by graduation, we were engaged. Two years later, after getting our master’s degrees, we tied the knot. Those early years were filled with joy, laughter, and dreams of the future we were building together.But things started changing after our second son was born. Tom began pulling away, and the warmth we had for each other cooled off gradually. One evening, he just dropped the bombshell.

“Julia, I want a divorce,” he said, as simply as if he was discussing the weather. That night, he packed a suitcase, kissed me on the forehead, and left, leaving behind a stunned me to figure out how to explain to our kids where Daddy had gone the next morning.
