The Farm

In Joanne Ramos's gripping debut novel, The Farm, set in the luxurious confines of a Hudson Valley retreat, women are offered a life-changing sum to become surrogates for affluent clients. The story follows Jane, an immigrant from the Philippines, who finds herself entangled in a high-stakes environment that both promises financial security and strips away her freedom. As she grapples with the pressures of motherhood and the sacrifices required for a better future, The Farm challenges readers to consider the complexities of surrogacy, class, and the American dream.
