Highly recommended!

Family is those whom you create relationships with, whether bound by blood or not. Insightful story about the culture of India, the struggles of adoption and the love of family.

The story follows an Indian adopted child from the time of her birth in India to her adulthood in the United States where she was adopted. Interestingly, it follows the birth mother and her family since the birth and the new family which adopted her. "Consequences" would be an apt word to describe what this book is about.

Suspensful and insightful. Pretty good character development. I enjoyed reading it.

The story centers around two very different families., one a poor family in India, the other a well-to-do family in the United States, and the daughter that binds them together. Kavita gives birth to a girl and in order to save her life she places her in an orphanage. Somer, a doctor, finds out she cannot have children. She and her husband, Kris, who is from India, decide to adopt a child from an orphanage in India. Usha, later named Asha is that child.
Beautifully written and a wonderful story.
