Secret Daughter: A Novel
Shilpi Somaya Gowda
In a remote Indian village, Kavita gives birth to a baby girl, but in a culture that favors sons, she makes the heartbreaking choice to save her newborn daughter's life by giving her away, a decision that will haunt her for the rest of her life. Halfway across the globe in San Francisco, American physician Somer and her Indian-American husband, Krishnan, struggle with infertility and decide to adopt an Indian orphan. The baby they adopt, whom they name Asha, is the child that connects the destinies of these two women and their families. The novel interweaves their stories as Asha grows up in America and eventually travels to India in search of her roots, exploring the emotional terrain of motherhood, loss, identity, and the enduring power of love across cultures.
