Secret Daughter is a wonderful story , actually 2 stories and 2 families, whose lives, while separate and who live in two different parts of the world, are connected through the birth if a daughter in India who is adopted and raised in America. It deals with the issue of who is a family. While many cultural, socio-economic, and gender preference issues are inherently part of the story, there are no value judgments placed on the choices the characters find they have to make. You get to know most of the characters quite well. I really loved this book. I learned a lot. It will stay with you for a long time. Both sad and wonderful.
