From the bestselling author of Sister of My Heart comes a spellbinding
tale of mothers and daughters, love and cultural identity.
Rakhi, a young painter and single mother, is struggling to come to terms
with her relationship with ex-husband Sonny, a hip Bay Area DJ, and with
her dreamteller mother, who has rarely spoken about her past or her
native India. Rakhihas her hands full, juggling a creative dry spell,
raising her daughter, and trying to save the Berkeley teahouse she and
her best friend, Belle, own. But greater challenges are to come. When a
national tragedy turns her world upside down and Rakhi needs her
mother's strength and wisdom more than ever, she loses her in a freak
car accident. But uncovering her mother's dream journals allows Rakhi to
discover her mother's long-kept secrets and sacrifices--and ultimately
to confront her fears, forge a new relationship with her father, and
revisit Sonny's place in her heart.
