About this item

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.
