This is such a unique book, a true story written by the author about her own life's story and using surrogacy as a way of having children. Mommy's Oven is told through her son's point of view while waiting on his baby brother to be born. Questions he has about his new brother are answered in this book. If you or someone you know have gone though this same thing, or maybe this is something you may have to do, this is a great book to read to your child. This book takes all of the fears a child may have. Its an amazing story. One I wanted to read over and over again.

I love the illustrations created by Nazar Horokhivskyi and how they look so realistic. They are so beautiful, and visually bring the story to life. The colors on each page is so pretty, the characters so beautiful your child will love looking at the pictures. The book is hard cover and so beautiful and it goes perfectly with the story. All in all this is the most wonderful book, a book that tells children there are alternative ways to have brothers or sisters.

A special thanks to the author/publisher for a copy of this book. I am not required to write a positive review, the opinions here are mine alone. I am disclosing this with my review in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s 16 CFR, Part 255.

Thank you Brandi Pearce for stopping by for an interview to tell more about your book.

Why I wrote it?

When my husband and I started trying to have children, I already knew my medical history would play a big role in that endeavor. I didn’t realize how big until I received the call that ripped my heart out. I would never be able to carry a child. But God has a way of bringing beautiful miracles out of some of our worst nightmares. As scary and hard as surrogacy was, it turned into one of the most amazing life changing experiences I have ever had.

The impact the book has had?

I have received such incredible feedback from those who have read Mommy’s Oven. I am amazed and beyond thrilled that it is truly helping others. What is really shocking, is that the responses are not only coming from those who are going through surrogacy. I have received messages from those who are going through miscarriages and trying to explain it to their children, people who are going through adoption who want their children to understand that families are made in several different ways. Even friends who are trying to teach their children life lessons about accepting, understanding, and appreciating families for their differences. The gratitude these families have shown for Mommy’s Oven as a tool for teaching, has been unbelievably humbling.

How can my story help others?

When I was sick in the hospital with Crohn’s, a woman from my church embroidered an angel design and told all her followers they could have the design for free, if they would send one to me and let me know they were praying for me and thinking of me. I received 1,000’s of angels from all over the world. I want Mommy’s Oven to help others in the same way those angels helped me. I want to give hope, support and encouragement in facing this hard reality. These families are not alone.

Where you can find Mommy’s Oven?

Mommy’s Oven is available in Barnes and Noble, Amazon, and Mascot books. It is also available on my website www.mommysovenisbroken.com, where I hope to soon have a ton of resources for those looking into surrogacy as an option for growing their own families.

Will I be writing more stories?

This book has meant so much to me and my family and has led me to a world of writing that I had no idea I loved so much! There may soon be a series called The Adventures of Augie and Ollie that helps kids comprehend difficult life struggles, as well as an inspirational personal story of my life-long battle with Crohn’s disease.

Thank you for your time!

Meet the Author:

Having battled Crohn’s Disease for most of her life and after undergoing 82 abdominal surgeries, Brandi Pearce knew she wouldn’t be able to carry children of her own. After a successful surrogacy resulted in her son, August, years later, she wondered how to explain to August that he was getting a new brother who was growing in someone else’s belly. That’s when Mommy’s Oven, Pearce’s debut children’s, book was born. Pearce wants other parents to be able to teach their own children that every family creation is unique and special. She hopes to inspire hope in overcoming adversity, as well as true miracles with this book.
