In Mansi Shah's stunning debut novel, a family tragedy beckons a
first-generation immigrant to the city of her birth, where she grapples
with her family's past in search of where she truly belongs.
After her parents moved her and her brother to America, Preeti Desai
never meant to tear her family apart. All she did was fall in love with
a white Christian carnivore instead of a conventional Indian boy. Years
later, with her parents not speaking to her and her controversial
relationship in tatters, all Preeti has left is her career at a
prestigious Los Angeles law firm.
But when Preeti receives word of a terrible accident in the city where
she was born, she returns to India, where she'll have to face her
estranged parents...and the complicated past they left behind.
Surrounded by the sights and sounds of her heritage, Preeti catches a
startling glimpse of her family's battles with class, tradition, and
sacrifice. Torn between two beautifully flawed cultures, Preeti must now
untangle what home truly means to her.
