Sejal Badani’s The Storyteller’s Secret is a tragic yet inspiring novel about two women continents and generations apart. Fifteen to twenty percent of all pregnant women suffer from miscarriage. A successful journalist named Jaya is one of them. Women who have had miscarriages usually have normal pregnancies afterwards, but not Jaya.

A reluctant Patrick wanted a divorce while Jaya decided to move back into her parents’ home in New York’s upscale suburbia in hopes of healing from the hurt of her devastated marriage and multiple miscarriages.
Jaya was welcomed by her loving father with whom she had shared a close bond. Her father was a renowned physician, and he had missed parts of Jaya’s childhood in pursuit of his career. Jaya had often been left under the
