Описание: Would you trade nine months of freedom for a better life?

Nestled in the Hudson Valley is a sumptuous retreat boasting every amenity: organic meals, private fitness trainers, daily massages--and all of it for free. In fact, you get paid big money--more than you've ever dreamed of--to spend a few seasons in this luxurious locale. The catch? For nine months, you belong to the Farm. You cannot leave the grounds; your every move is monitored. Your former life will seem a world away as you dedicate yourself to the all-consuming task of producing the perfect baby for your berwealthy clients.

Jane, an immigrant from the Philippines and a struggling single mother, is thrilled to make it through the highly competitive Host selection process at the Farm. But now pregnant, fragile, consumed with worry for her own young daughter's well-being, Jane grows desperate to reconnect with her life outside. Yet she cannot leave the Farm or she will lose the life-changing fee she'll receive on delivery--or worse.

Heartbreaking, suspenseful, provocative, The Farm pushes our thinking on motherhood, money, and merit to the extremes, and raises crucial questions about the trade-offs women will make to fortify their futures and the futures of those they love.

Описание: Welcome to "The Farm," a luxury retreat where women receive big money to become surrogate mothers . . . so long as they play by the rules.

For wealthy clients, Golden Oaks Farm promises an environment perfectly calibrated to maximize the potential of their unborn children. For "hosts," the huge payout upon delivery can change the course of their often difficult lives. An immigrant from the Philippines and a struggling single mother, Jane is thrilled to make it through the highly competitive host selection process. But once she arrives at "The Farm" pregnant, fragile, and cut off from her own daughter, she discovers a different world behind the pristine fa ade. Along with the other hosts, Jane's existence becomes strictly regimented and meticulously observed--all for the benefit of their unseen clients.

The intersecting lives of these unforgettable characters play out against the backdrop of the rural Hudson Valley, the lavish homes of the One Percent, and a crowded dormitory in Queens, where immigrant service workers rent beds. A novel that reveals a rich spectrum of female experience in a world that is very nearly our own, The Farm also calls into question a woman's agency over her body and, ultimately, illuminates the trade-offs women will make to fortify their futures, and the futures of those they love.
