Kate is a thirtysomethingyearold adventurer and single mother who sells her stateside business to go to Kathmandu, Nepal with her young son, Jack. Her intention is to adopt an orphaned toddler named Devi, a little girl she knows only from a photograph. The expedition ends up completely redirecting Kates moral compass and forcing her to find peace within chaos.Stand in the Trafficis the story of Kates year long journey through culture shock, paperwork delays, and revolution. As the days drift by, Kate struggles to connect with the stoic little girl whose charcoal eyes and visible scars betray her elusive past.InStand in the Traffic, Kates fresh, engaging voice speaks to womens issues, parenting, politics, and adventure travel. Readers will be captivated by Kate and her family. Unlike other adoption retrospectives, this is not the dry, drawn out account of bureaucracy and childlessness, but rather a heartpounding journey to the land of rickshaw wallahs and orangeclad saddhus, incense laden temples, and sly street dogs. As the months unfold, Kate finds herself contentedly immersed in Devis vibrant culture, in spite of the revolution brewing just down the lane. Kates story of immersion in a foreign culture leads readers into an enchanted dreamscape.
