Win the NEXT book of the month March: Stranger by David Bergen Now to Love NZ

Iso is a young woman living in the Guatemalan highlands. She works as an attendant in an alternative fertility clinic for wealthy white American women who come to soak in the supposedly magical, impregnating waters.
Iso has no such fertility issues herself. She falls pregnant to an American doctor working at the clinic, and months after he returns home she gives birth to a perfect baby girl. A day later her baby is stolen – and so starts Iso's epic journey to find her child.
Bergen's spare yet elegant writing suits the story beautifully as Iso faces myriad dangers, crossing illegally into Mexico and then again, much more dangerously, through the staunchly-patrolled desert wasteland on the Mexican-US border.
