“Reed, a fierce thinker, is poking at the soft spot of our national anxiety about every aspect of making babies and raising children.”--The Washington Post BookWorld on The Baby Merchant
 
“Reed skillfully evokes the pain of couples aching for a baby, the host-like sensation of pregnancy, and the fierce love evoked by newborns. She also considers the deep scars that result from withheld affection.  She explores the connection between creativity and motherhood, the tension between career and family, and the powerful pull of blood and wealth.”--The Philadelphia Inquirer on The Baby Merchant
 
“The Baby Merchant is first and last a smart, sometimes startling thriller, graced with an interesting bad guy and with Sasha, whose metamorphosis from self-absorbed student to panicky single mom to avenging mother tiger powers the story.”--St. Petersburg Times
 
“Kit Reed has a knack for striking upon hot-button topics and probing them from odd, illuminating angles. When you combine her flair for fast-paced and intricate plotting with this ability to dig deep inside her protagonists, you are guaranteed novels that demand rapid devouring yet release time-capsules of moral, intellectual and ethical ambiguity. This latest book is no exception.”--Paul Di Filippo, Scifi.com on The Baby Merchant
