Joanne Ramos, THE FARM

Joanne Ramos, a debut author whose journey from the Philippines to Princeton informed her story, wrote an AMAZING first novel. THE FARM is not only an inside look at a surrogacy facility but it's also an inside look at the world of nannies, baby nurses and more. We spoke about the lottery of life, how caregivers are able to compartmentalize their own private lives, what "make yourself at home" really means, the windy path of writing and so much more.
