In a remote Indian village, Kavita gives birth to a daughter, Asha, but in a culture that favors sons, she makes the heartbreaking decision to save the child's life by giving her away. Halfway around the globe, Somer, a physician in San Francisco, adopts a baby from a Mumbai orphanage after discovering she cannot have children. Asha becomes the child that binds the destinies of these two women, and the novel follows both families, invisibly connected until Asha's journey of self-discovery leads her back to India, exploring the emotional terrain of motherhood, loss, identity, and love.
