In fact, you're paid big money to stay here--more than you've ever dreamed of. The catch? For nine months, you cannot leave the grounds; your movements are monitored, and you are cut off from your former life while you dedicate yourself to the task of producing the perfect baby. Jane, an immigrant from the Philippines, is in desperate search of a better future when she commits to being a Host at Golden Oaks, or the Farm as residents call it. But now pregnant, fragile, consumed with worry for her own family, Jane is determined to reconnect with her life outside. Yet she cannot leave the Farm or she will lose the life-changing fee she'll receive on delivery. Heartbreaking, gripping, provocative, The Farm pushes our thinking on motherhood, money, and merit to the extremes, and raises crucial questions about the trade-offs women will make to fortify their futures and the futures of those they love. 650 0 $a Motherhood $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Surrogate mothers $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Women immigrants $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Filipino American women $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Financial security $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Women $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Families $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Large type books. 651 0 $a Hudson River Valley (N.Y. and N.J.) $v Fiction. 941 $a 1 945 $a lpt 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722061707.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5C41A4669FB311E99423FE1297128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
