"A full-throttle novel that is both tough and poignant." -Madeline Miller, author of I, Kirke

"So realistic it's chilling." -Sophie Mackintosh, author of The Water Cure

In the Hudson Valley lies a sumptuous retreat with all the amenities: organic food, private fitness instructors, daily massages - all for free. In fact, if you spend a few seasons in this luxurious place, you'll even receive an unimaginably large payment. And in return? For nine months you belong to the Ranch. You are forbidden to leave the land; your every move is monitored. Once you dedicate yourself to the grueling task of producing the perfect baby for your extraordinarily wealthy clients, your old life will seem like a fading dream.

Jane, an immigrant from the Philippines and a struggling single mother, was thrilled to have passed the highly competitive surrogacy selection process at The Farm. But now, pregnant, fragile and worried for the well-being of her own daughter, Jane longed to return to her life outside. But she could not leave the Farm, or she would lose the life-changing payment she would receive for the birth and face even greater danger.

Sad, gripping and moving, The Farm pushes our ideas about motherhood, money and virtue to the extreme, asking critical questions about what women are willing to sacrifice to secure the future for themselves and their loved ones.
