Zara Khan: Ankita of Twisted Tree Farm, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Dr. Ankita Kumar is a geneticist, a single mother, and a woman of colour. Then she gives birth to a blond-haired, blue-eyed baby, and someone asks the unthinkable: Did Ankita genetically engineer her own child? The accusation threatens everything she has built. But the truth about her son cannot be understood without the story of the girl Ankita once was. Raised by her grandparents in a small town on the shores of Lake Huron, Ankita grew up as one of the only children of colour in a place where she was always aware of being different. She learned how to adapt, endure, and survive. She also discovered friendship, science, and a first love she never saw coming. Years later, Ankita has built an unconventional family of her own. But when her choices become a public spectacle, the past she thought she had left behind begins to collide with the present. Ankita must finally confront the question that has followed her since childhood: Who gets to decide who belongs together? Ankita of Twisted Tree Farm is a thought-provoking women's fiction novel about motherhood, genetics, love, and the families we create.
