A stunning new novel—full of wit and
warmth—from the bestselling author of The
Mango Season.
In
trendy Silicon Valley, Priya has everything she needs—a loving husband, a
career, and a home—but the one thing she wants most is the child she’s unable
to have. In a Southern Indian village, Asha doesn’t have much—raising two
children in a tiny hut, she and her husband can barely keep a tin roof over
their heads—but she wants a better education for her gifted son. Pressured by
her family, Asha reluctantly checks into the Happy Mothers House: a baby farm
where she can rent her only asset—her womb—to a childless couple overseas. To
the dismay of friends and family, Priya places her faith in a woman she’s never
met to make her dreams of motherhood come true.
