For Laura Ann McGehee, her body represents the one remaining financial resource that can save the family farm. For Sophia McQuistion, Laura Annś unusual sacrifice fulfills her own dream of having a child. Weaving together bioethics and faith in a heart-rending tale of love lost and loves found, Nobodyś Child dramatizes the ethical question we can no longer ignore in medicine: Just because we can do something - should we? Meet Laura Ann McGehee-Determined to honor her fatherś dying request, the young West Virginia woman will do whatever it takes to save the family farm, including using the one remaining financial resource she has...her body. Meet Sophia McQuistion-Thanks to the unusual sacrifice of a woman she has never met, she carries the child she could never conceive. Meet Ian Stewart-In Lauraś time of need, heś more than just a close friend. He is a source of grace, a man who loves Laura Ann through her many trials. When unusual circumstances place Sophiaś baby in Laura Annś care, Laura Ann is now the virgin mother of her own biological son. The media call him "Nobodyś Child." But somebody wants him badly enough to steal him. Weaving together bioethics and faith, "Nobodyś Child" dramatizes a future that is already upon us with consequences we can no longer avoid.
