“Secret Daughter is a thought-provoking testament to how women survive despite the horrors and injustices of the sexist worlds in which they are born and live. The story begins when a mother clandestinely travels to an orphanage in Mumbai to save her tiny baby girl from being murdered. She is not allowed to be a parent to her own child. Both mother and daughter are refused the wonderful new roles that should have been their human right. The mother Kavita, refutes this lack of agency by a noble and dangerous act of tragic renunciation.

We also follow the story of a woman longing for a child. We witness her struggle with her own body’s refusal to acquiesce in her desire to be a mother. She goes to great lengths to find this wonderful tiny girl. She travels to Mumbai, a world that is alien and often threatening to her in order to find her child. She brings baby Asha to North America, a society that allows a young girl protection and the ability to pursue her own dreams and fully become herself.

This coming into her own includes a need for Asha to embrace and understand the world that she came from. Asha returns to her country, one whose social rules and customs almost killed her, in order to find its riches. She carries in her the fight of her biological mother, the wonders of her culture and a need to return to the place of her birth for redemption.

This is a celebration of the girls who are born in India, their travails, their tragedies, and their right to fully be part of their country’s history. This book is about the miracle that is their will to become women.”
