Somer's life is everything she imagined it would be, she has newly married and has started her career as a physician in San Francisco, until she makes the devastating discovery she never will be able to have children. The same year in India, a poor mother makes the heartbreaking choice to save her newborn daughter's life by giving her away. It is a decision that will haunt Kavita for the rest of her life, and cause a ripple effect that travels across the world and back again. Asha, adopted out of a Mumbai orphanage, is the child that binds the destinies of these two women. We follow both families, invisibly connected until Asha's journey of self-discovery leads her back to India. This is a story of the unforeseen ways in which our choices and families affect our lives, and the indelible power of love in all its many forms. 650 0 $a Intercountry adoption $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Adopted children $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Mothers and daughters $v Fiction. 650 0 $a East Indians $z United States $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Families $z India $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Families $z United States $v Fiction. 650 1 $a Mothers $v Fiction. 650 7 $a Fiction $x Family Life. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Fiction $x Cultural Heritage. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Adopted children. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00797050 650 7 $a East Indians. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00901060 650 7 $a Families. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01728849 650 7 $a Intercountry adoption. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00976069 650 7 $a Mothers and daughters. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01026997 651 7 $a India. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01210276 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 650 7 $a Roman. $2 idszbz 650 7 $a Amerikanisches Englisch. $2 idszbz 650 7 $a Mothers $v Fiction. $2 sears 650 7 $a Adopted children $v Fiction. $2 sears 650 7 $a Family life $z India $v Fiction. $2 sears 650 7 $a Family life $z United States $v Fiction. $2 sears 655 7 $a Domestic fiction. $2 lcgft 655 4 $a Domestic fiction. 655 7 $a Domestic fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726589 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a Suspense fiction. $2 gsafd 856 42 $3 Contributor biographical information $u http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1011/2010280958-b.html 856 42 $3 Publisher description $u http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1011/2010280958-d.html 941 $a 1 $n 1 952 $l ENPC715 $d 20210617150054.0 $n 10 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3090E118AC3311EB98A411E3203FDB2A 994 $a C0 $b IOZInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
