Book Overview
"Moving and thought-provoking and informative and imaginative and beautifully executed. What a wonderful story " --Mary Jane Clark "This book is a must for anyone touched by adoption, or India, or the delicate dynamic between adolescent girls and their mothers." --Sujata Massey, author of Shimura Trouble Secret Daughter , a first novel by Shilpi Somaya Gowda, explores powerfully and poignantly the emotional terrain of motherhood, loss, identity, and love through the experiences of two families--one Indian, one American--and the child that binds them together. A masterful work set partially in the Mumbai slums so vividly portrayed in the hit film Slumdog Millionaire , Secret Daughter recalls the acclaimed novels of Kim Edwards and Thrity Umrigar, yet sparkles with the freshness of a truly exciting new literary voice.

To that end, here are some memoirs and novels we think explore the deeper dimensions of those maternal relationships.
