I had everything blue - toys, clothes, rattle, knitted baby-blankets, and shoes too. Ma went on a besotting shopping spree after the temple sadhu had assured her the next baby would be a boy.

"Why blue?" I asked her in my four-year old voice.

"It’s the colour of a boy," said Ma.

"But I’m a girl," I protested… 

This is a story of Priya, a Fiji/New Zealand-Indian, who marries Gurveer and moves continents, embracing Punjab, his North Indian home state, as her new home. Moving away from her family seems like a perfect solution to Priya to bury her childhood memories of rejection when she was born a girl. But when Priya discovers she is pregnant her past returns to haunt her…and she comes face to face with a society where female foeticide is as common as a game of cricket…

The Girl Child is a moving story of a Western Indian woman fighting for the survival of her baby while learning to understand the root causes of foeticide's continuance in modern India.Set in techno-savvy Punjab, India, it touches a universal cord, a passionate fight for survival and a mother’s unconditional love.
