Moy Moy’s Circle

Product Description

When Jo Chopra McGowan, an American woman living in India, adopts baby Moy Moy – born with multiple disabilities and given little chance of survival – she could not have foreseen how completely their lives would transform. What begins as an intimate journey between a mother and her child soon expands into something far greater: the birth of a pioneering organization: Latika.

Latika doesn’t just offer services; it changes lives. It supports children with developmental disabilities and their families while empowering its workforce – primarily young women who have known hardship intimately, and who are trained to become confident, skilled professionals. Over the course of more than twenty-five years, Latika has touched thousands of lives, delivering high-quality, affordable care infused with joy, compassion and dignity. Yet this is not simply the story of one child or one non-profit.

Moy Moy’s Circle is a powerful rendering of the resilience of the human spirit. It reveals what can happen when we listen to those the world often overlooks, how care can be an act of courage, how dignity is a right not a privilege, and how hope, paired with determination, can work quiet miracles. For anyone who has ever wondered how one life can make a difference, this deeply moving exploration by Suchitra Shenoy offers a luminous and lasting answer.
