Adele Griffin is the author of A Favor, a contemporary novel set in New York City. Nora is working at a high end vintage dress shop. Nora is married, lives in a small apartment in New York City with her husband and dog. She and her husband have been undergoing fertility treatments for years with no luck so far. One day a customer comes in. Evelyn is a socialite and she buys so many expensive dresses that Nora is thrilled with her commission. Nora and Evelyn hit it off but their relationship isn't really equal. Evelyn will ask Nora for help dressing for an occasion and then pay Nora for her trouble. Evelyn is impulsive and she is used to getting her way. After a few months of friendship, Evelyn offers to be a surrogate mother to Nora's last frozen embryo. How the relationship evolves during the pregnancy is the bulk of the story. Not all families are formed in the same manner and it was interesting to read about surrogate mothers.
