The Leftover Woman ties together feelings of love, motherhood, and belonging and while it took awhile, the last 20% really catch you. You can feel the love Jasmine has for her daughter, being raised by another couple through adoption, and how that forces her hand as she considers both her biggest desires and the needs of her daughter.
