The Red Thread by Ann Hood

The Red Thread by Ann Hood

“In China there is a belief that people who are destined to be together are connected by an invisible red thread. Who is at the end of your red thread?” After losing her infant daughter in a freak accident, Maya Lange opens The Red Thread, an adoption agency that specializes in placing baby girls from China with American families. Maya finds some comfort in her work, until a group of six couples share their personal stories of their desire for a child. Their painful and courageous journey toward adoption forces her to confront the lost daughter of her past. Brilliantly braiding together the stories of Chinese birth mothers who give up their daughters, Ann Hood writes a moving and beautifully told novel of fate and the red thread that binds these characters’ lives. Heartrending and wise, The Red Thread is a stirring portrait of unforgettable love and yearning for a baby.

"A subtle and unusual adoption story, many-layered, exquisitely told" -- Reeve Lindbergh "Hood wears her big heart on her sleeve... Her prose ... shines in the portraits of the Chinese families who give up their daughters." -- Tricia Springstubb "A wisely woven novel." "Hope sinks and floats again in Hood's lovely, perceptive tale."

Ann Hood is the author of a dozen books of memoir and fiction, including the best-selling novels The Book That Matters Most and The Knitting Circle, and editor of the anthologies Knitting Yarns and Knitting Pearls. She lives in Providence, Rhode Island, and New York.
