"With its emotionprovoking plot and welldrawn characters, this novel will remain in your thoughts long after the last page is read." Sublime Book Review"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 authors deep ties to her Indian culture." Hollywood Book ReviewsEvery day, twentyeightyearold Meena Rawat is hounded by inner voices reminding her to be grateful for the middleclass American life she haseven 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.When Ramu reappears in her new American life, hes 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 daughterand the certainty that she would lose custodykeep her chained?
