�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 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.
