<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><p>A young woman in a loveless, abusive marriage comes face to face with her childhood sweetheart, only to discover that he is now a billionaire businessman.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong>"With its emotion-provoking plot and well-drawn characters, this novel will remain in your thoughts long after the last page is read." -<em>Sublime Book Review</em></strong></p><p><strong>"While the romance between Meena and Ramu makes for an excellent way to pass a few evenings reading, what makes the book so interesting are the author's deep ties to her Indian culture." -<em>Hollywood Book Reviews</em></strong></p><p>Every day, twenty-eight-year-old Meena Rawat is hounded by inner voices reminding her to be grateful for the middle-class American life she has-even if she is stuck in an unhappy marriage. She and her daughter are both safe, clothed, and fed, more than she could say for herself as a child. Born into the "Untouchables" caste in a small village in North India, Meena frequently relives the nightmare of abuses and slurs she suffered in an orphanage. There is only one bright spot in her memories: the fellow 'Untouchable' orphan who became her best friend and first love, Ramu.</p><p>When Ramu reappears in her new American life, he's different. Unlike her, he has cast off the shame of their upbringing and become a confident entrepreneur. Their meeting rekindles a lost passion and the two find they share a mutual sense of obligation to help the children of the outcast community they left behind. Meena fantasizes about a future with him, but will her responsibility to her daughter-and the certainty that she would lose custody-keep her chained?</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"... an extraordinary, beautifully written story that follows one woman's life journey as it comes full circle." -<strong>Christy Cooper-Burnett, author of <em>No Way Home</em></strong></p><p>An excerpt from this novel was nominated for <strong>The Pushcart Prize</strong> in 2019</p><p>"... an intimate, romantic, and sometimes heartbreaking portrait of the struggle between what we want and what we must have." -<strong>Mat Johnson, author of <em>Loving Day</em></strong></p><br>
