In DISPOSABLE, college student Annalyn Winston is desperate to get out of debt. She finds unusual but high-paying work as a surrogate for a wealthy, barren couple. All goes well for a time, with Winston installed in a lovely house and her student loan debt decreasing each month. All goes well, that is, until a routine medical test reveals that the unborn baby has a potentially devastating birth defect. Told in three narrative voices—those of Annalyn Winston; Gerline Caslon, her counterpart and wife to the controlling Abington; and Akon Tahiri, their ambitious family lawyer—DISPOSABLE is a provocative tale that raises crucial moral issues about the lengths to which one will go to create the “perfect family.”
