Laurie Wilder, a vibrant young woman, suffers a cardiac arrest from a blood clot and is rendered vegetative. She and her husband Ted are childless. The families of husband and wife are divided, but agree on one thing: to harvest Laurie's oocytes and implant an embryo in a surrogate. As their requests\/demands wind through an ethics committee and the court, Laurie's brother unravels. His paranoia is fuelled by a burgeoning relationship between Ted and Zelda, an idealistic physician assistant. The outcome is traumatic for all the families involved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 226\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.52 x 8.25 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 29, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47495435747549,"sku":"9781837945269","price":20.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/9867\/8237\/files\/0qibhOd_1F9781837945269.webp?v=1771972341","url":"https:\/\/handfulofbooks.com\/products\/longing-for-laurie-paperback","provider":"Handful of Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
