From India to America, a woman's search for family, home, and self becomes a journey of secrets and forgiveness in a powerful novel by the author of No Ordinary Thursday.
At twenty-one years old, Gia Kumari finally leaves the Delhi orphanage where she was raised. With few prospects for the future, she receives an unexpected invitation from a stranger named Sonia Shah in San Francisco: an internship at Sonia's weddings and events company. Gia and America. It's love at first sight as she navigates an unfamiliar but irresistible new world of firsts.
It's Gia's first real job; her first meeting with her only known family, her uncle Mohammed Khan; and her first romance with Sonia's quirky yet charming stepson, Adi. But it might be too good to be true. Gia's newfound happiness is unfolding in the shadow of a terrible family secret, the impact of which is still being felt in a place Gia now calls home. To save what matters most, Gia must come to terms with a tragic past she's only beginning to understand--and a lifetime of lies she must learn to forgive.
