"You were adopted." These three simple words, in a letter accompanying her parents' will, tear Nisha's carefully ordered world apart.



Raised in England by her caring but emotionally reserved parents, Nisha has never been one to take risks. Now, with the scrawled address of an Indian convent, she begins a search for the mother and family she never knew and the awakening of long forgotten childhood memories. The secrets, culture, and people that Nisha discover will change her life forever. And, as her eyes are opened to a side of herself she didn't know existed, Nisha realizes that she must also seek answers to the hardest question of all—why? Weaving together the stories of Nisha, Shilpa, and Devi, The Forgotten Daughter explores powerfully and poignantly the emotional themes of motherhood, loss, and identity—ultimately asking the question, what would you do out of love for your children?

Renita D'Silva is the author of numerous works, including Monsoon Memories, The Stolen Girl, and many short stories. She loves stories, both reading and creating them. Her work has been published in Bartleby Snopes, on Paragraph Planet, and other places, and she has been nominated for the Pushcart Prize.

Justine Eyre has turned her passion for reading and remarkable facility with accents into her dream career. This classically trained, multilingual actress has narrated well over 400 audiobooks and has been honored to receive a coveted Audie Award and multiple AudioFile Earphones Awards. Appearing in leading roles onstage in King Lear and The Crucible, she has also graced the screen in Two and Half Men and Mad Men amongst her many television credits.

"Eyre moves capably between the voices, giving each woman a unique characterization so that the listener remains oriented through the many flashbacks and recollections." ---AudioFile Expand reviews
