📦 Shipping Notice for Print Books
To keep shipping costs as low as possible, we recommend placing smaller print book orders whenever practical. Orders that exceed our print partner's U.S. shipping weight limit may be fulfilled from a U.K. facility, resulting in significantly higher shipping charges. If you're purchasing several print books, placing two or more smaller orders will often reduce your shipping costs.
The Debt the Village Owes — Naia has been sitting with pregnant women in her village for twenty years. She has never sent a bill, never named a price, never suggested that what she does is owed payment. The village does not think of this as a debt. She does not ask them to. But when her roof begins to fail in the rainy season, the village discovers what it has been keeping track of without knowing it.
