Secret Daughter

I am 76% done with a book I downloaded on my Kindle ..... when I originally downloaded it I wasnt sure I would even be interested in it.....But it came recommended....so I tried it even though the author, Shilpi Somaya Gowda wrote this book as her first time novel.

BUT Ms. Gowda outdid herself in this story......and I am hoping to finish up this book tonight.....It's India.....Imagine your husband is unhappy about your giving birth to a girl baby....imagine he kills that child....what would you do?  Your second child is a girl too....but somehow you keep it away from your husband, and give it to an orphanage....your third child is a boy and hubby is ok with that.


This is a story of a mother's anguish about giving away her daughter...does a day ever go by when she doesnt think about her.......it's a story about another couple in the US who could not have children; they adopt the little girl given away to the orphanage.....will these lives ever intertwine?  Will mom find her daughter.....with mom lose her daughter?  


If there is only one book you read this year......pick this one up.....you wont be disappointed....emotional, heart wrenching, moving, and thought provoking.
