Secret Daughter – Shilpi Somaya Gowda

Two families. Two countries. One child caught between them.

In a Mumbai slum, a mother makes an unthinkable choice to save her daughter's life. In California, a couple desperate for a child travel to India to adopt. Secret Daughter follows these two families across continents and decades, weaving together their stories in a deeply moving novel about love, sacrifice, identity, and the meaning of belonging.

Shilpi Soma Gowda's debut is a rich, emotionally resonant read that draws you into two very different worlds and refuses to let go. Tender, thought-provoking, and beautifully written — it's the kind of book that stays with you long after the last page.

Perfect for fans of Jodi Picoult, Anita Shreve, and emotionally driven women's fiction that spans cultures and generations. Popular with readers who love dual-timeline stories, family sagas, and books that explore the bonds between mothers and daughters.
