Simran has always felt harshly judged by her mother, Nandini, and when a highly respected journalist careens into her life, she begins to question everything. Nandini has strived to create an easy life for her children, so much so that she's let herself slip away. Mimi failed her daughter, Nandini, in ways she'll never be able to forget. But with her granddaughter Simran, she has the chance to offer help when it's needed. As life begins to pull Nandini and Simran apart, Mimi is determined to be the bridge that keeps them connected, even as she carries her own secret burden.
A mother-daughter story about three generations of women who struggle to define themselves as they pursue their dreams -- Provided by publisher.
"Simran Mehta has always felt harshly judged by her mother, Nandini, especially when it comes to her writing "hobby." But when a charismatic and highly respected journalist careens into Simran's life, she begins to question not only her future as a psychologist, but her engagement to her high school sweetheart. Nandini Mehta has strived to create an easy life for her children in America. From dealing with her husband's demanding family to the casual racism of her patients, everything Nandini has endured has been for her children's sake. It isn't until an old colleague makes her a life-changing offer that Nandini realizes she's spent so much time focusing on being the Perfect Indian Woman, she's let herself slip away. Mimi Kadakia failed her daughter, Nandini, in ways she'll never be able to fix-or forget. But with her granddaughter, she has the chance to be supportive and offer help when it's needed. As life begins to pull Nandini and Simran apart, Mimi is determined to be the bridge that keeps them connected, even as she carries her own secret burden"-- Provided by publisher.
