This is not a book for the faint of heart. It took every ounce of strength to not cry over the stories of the two moms in the story, the American mom desperately wanting a baby and her bouts with infertility and the Indian mom yearning to give her daughter a good life and missing her every day. I can relate to them both and their agonizing decisions and journey through motherhood. Their trials, tribulations and joys are so perfectly detailed by the author. I was enthralled with this book from the first page...in fact, I am already giving it a 5 star and have gotten about half way through...let's hope the second half is as good as the first.

Being an Indian-American, I love hearing her descriptions of the glorious food and life in India. The author knows how to pull at my heartstrings with this one, missing my grandparents so. I look forward to reading the rest of this book and hopefully other works by this talented author.
