Kirkus Reviews, STARRED

...a touching and provocative novel about the collisions of the emotional and legal meanings of family.
Foreword Reviews

As a young mother with a toddler and a live-in boyfriend, Maggie Fishers job at a checkout counter in downtown Phoenix doesnt 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 peoples babies, she at first finds the concept laughable. Before long, however, shes been seduced by all the ways the extra money could improve her life. Once she decides to go for it, its only a matter of months before shes 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 cant 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.
