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 Surrogate mothers $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Motherhood $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Women immigrants $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Women $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Income distribution $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Financial security $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Families $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Exploitation $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Secrecy $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Autonomy (Psychology) 651 0 $a New York (State) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Large type books. 941 $a 4 945 $a lpt 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240314020138.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909054231.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20200901010933.0 952 $l EGPB605 $d 20190608121208.0 $m LP 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=75024B1C81D711E99AF5890297128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
