A 2021 Kirkus Reviews' Best Indie Book of the YearSheReads 2021
Book Awards: Best Book Club Pick "It is hard to imagine a better
novel for a book club discussion...A thoughtful and gripping family
tale that will haunt readers long after finishing it." -Kirkus
Reviews, STARRED "...a touching and provocative novel about the
collisions of the emotional and legal meanings of family."
-Foreword Reviews As a young mother with a toddler and a live-in
boyfriend, Maggie Fisher's job at a checkout counter in downtown
Phoenix doesn't afford her much financial flexibility. She dreams
of going to college and becoming a teacher, options she squandered
when she fled her family home as a teenager. When Maggie stumbles
onto an ad offering thousands of dollars to women who are willing
to gestate other people's babies, she at first finds the concept
laughable. Before long, however, she's been seduced by all the ways
the extra money could improve her life. Once she decides to go for
it, it's only a matter of months before she's chosen as a
gestational carrier by Chip and Donovan Rigsdale, a married couple
from New York. After delivering twin babies and proudly handing
them off to the Rigsdales, Maggie finally gets her life on a
positive trajectory: she earns her degree, lands a great job, and
builds a family of her own. She can't fathom why, ten years after
the fact, the fertility clinic is calling to ask for a follow-up
DNA test. High-energy and immensely readable, He Gets That from Me
explores what it really means to be part of a family.
