The only thing missing is a child. When IVF fails, Claire proposes an illegal solution: hire their housekeeper, Alicia, as a surrogate. She is quiet, young, and already lives under their roof.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs the pregnancy progresses, Claire tightens her grip, Andrew begins to drift, and Alicia, seemingly compliant, starts to shift in unexpected ways. Then, without warning, she is gone, setting off a search that will expose more than one kind of loss.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith slow-burning suspense and cinematic intensity, Alicia is a character-driven psychological drama about the choices that shape who we become, with echoes of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland reimagined as a descent into a darker adult world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe story was born from a single image: the search for a missing woman, where the true purpose was the child she carried inside her rather than the woman herself. From that seed, the rest grew: the struggle of losing control and learning to live without it; the reality of undocumented immigration; and the desire to reimagine Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland in a darker adult world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI kept wondering: what if Wonderland wasn't fantasy, but today's New York City? What if the story were told from the Queen of Hearts' point of view? At its heart, Alicia is a story about borders: of the body, the law, and the self, and what happens when those borders are crossed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Eddy Arias\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798999098023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Visole Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/30\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 158\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.48lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.37d","brand":"Eddy Arias","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47580130214143,"sku":"9798999098023","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b568bae8-aa16-4104-ad15-bb2037072b1b.jpg?v=1763879016","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/alicia-eddy-arias-9798999098023","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
