This is a stunning story of the value of life. In Delhi a small baby lies alone and abandoned. The product of IVF and surrogacy, she had been so coveted - until she was born with a fatal illness. No one knows how the infection could have been transferred to the child, but one thing is certain: no one wants her now. Thousands of miles away in London, Kate and Ben are desperate for a baby. But, despite all their efforts, fate seems to be skewed against them. Then, as Kate suffers another miscarriage, she knows something has to change. She has heard of women who are prepared to carry a baby for others, and she knows this might be a way to finally find happiness. But will her desire for a baby stop at nothing? And between the two, feisty social worker Simran Singh is determined to uncover the truth behind the shadowy facade of the multi-million dollar surrogacy industry. Women and children are being exploited, their lives thrown away like so much dust. Is she is the only person prepared to stand up for what is right.

London's House of Journalists exists as an officious sanctuary for writers who have fled despotic governments. Current inhabitants include Mr. Stan, whose tortured, twisted body is a warning of the dangers all outspoken journalists face; Mustapha, who left his family behind in the wake of a revolution; and Agnes, a photojournalist unable to take up her camera after recording atrocities. Into this group comes the standoffish journalist "AA." Julian thinks he's there to bring down the house, but AA's ultimate goal is more surprising than that.

The one thing Mike and Sarah know after three years of life in a post-apocalyptic world is that nothing ever stays the same. Just when life had begun to settle down--and all their immediate needs met--a threat comes at the little compound from a totally unexpected source. Not England, nor the US, not rampaging gypsies or even the Middle East. This time it's the land itself--the very bushes and trees of Ireland that they'll have to protect themselves from. Could the bomb have opened an ancient portal long kept shut? Could there really be fairies and mystical beings running through the woods? Or is the evil that's creeping out of that portal something very, very human? -- from Amazon.
