This powerful memoir tracing a young woman's journey into her past is a deeply affecting story about love, fate and the true meaning of belonging. 'Your father and I wanted to have the children which nature could not give us, and you were clamouring for the parents you were denied. Now we have come to the end of that page. It is time to turn over and start a new one, as much for you as for us.' Adopted from an orphanage in India at age seven, the only real home Asha Miro knew was in the centre of cosmopolitan Barcelona. Twenty years later Asha returns to her birthplace, determined to recover the missing pieces of her early life. But nothing could prepare Asha for India's assault on her senses and buried memories - or the shock that she had apparently been abandoned by her parents. But her journey into the past eventually leads her to the truth and a turning point that makes it all worthwhile - finding a sister she never knew existed, also called Asha, the only surviving member of her family. The joyous reunion of the two sisters, whose destinies could not have been more different - the ultimate in the 'sliding doors' of fate - changes both their lives forever. Interspersed with fragments of a diary in which Asha's mother lovingly recorded her adopted daughter's gradual discovery of a strange new world, it is easy to see why Daughter of the Ganges became a No.1 bestseller in Asha's adopted country of Spain. Here, for the first time, this extraordinary story is told in English.

Growing up in an Indian orphanage, Asha Miró; dreamed that someday she would be adopted. At the age of six, her wish finally came true, but only at the misfortune of another. A Catalan family was in the process of adopting twins when one of the children suddenly fell ill and died -- a twist of fate that led the family to adopt Asha instead. Leaving a life of poverty behind, Asha was given a second chance. Twenty-one years later, Asha takes a heart-wrenching trip back to India to uncover her native roots. Full of unexpected encounters, this adventure informs and touches Asha beyond her expectations. She visits her old orphanage, speaks with her former caretakers, explores the land that she might not have ever left, and comes to form a more solid identity. Yet one trip is not enough. Eight years later she returns, this time visiting the small rural village where she was born. While uncovering the details behind her adoption, Asha discovers the only living member of her immediate Indian family: a sister she never knew she had.

“Quiero unos padres,” insistía Asha cuando solo tenia cinco anos, sentada en lo alto de las escaleras del orfanato de Bombay. Por fin, en 1974, Asha viajo a Barcelona, donde la esperaban sus nuevos padres adoptivos y una Hermana, otra niña india. En 1995, cuando acababa de cumplir veintisiete anos, Asha viajo a Bombay a conocer el país que la vio nacer. Luego de este viaje, ella regreso por segunda vez a la India en el verano del 2003, con la intención de filmar un documental e intentar encajar las distintas piezas de un rompecabezas intimo, hecho de caras nuevas y sentimientos hondos, de idiomas extraños y lagrimas de alegría, de manos que se unen en lazos de sangre. La hija del Ganges es el hermoso testimonio de una experiencia insólita, que significo el reencuentro de Asha con una tierra que ella creía perdida. Junto a sus palabras, también están las paginas mas emotivas del diario de su madre adoptiva. Lo que La Hija del Ganges nos entrega son unas memorias llenas de ternura, que hablan de una experiencia tan importante como la adopción y la búsqueda de las propias raíces. Lo que Asha encontró en India esta ahora en su corazón y en estas magnificas paginas de La hija del Ganges, un libro que nos ensena a buscar y esperar siempre lo mejor de la vida.

Excerpt from Child of the Ganges: A Tale of the Judson Mission The Ganges is the impersonation of the goddess Ganga, the daughter of the Himalaya. It is believed to be a gift from heaven sent in answer to sixty thou sand years of prayer and severe austerities.
