In the heart of Khaled Hosseini, Nadia Hashimi, and Shilpi Somaya Gowda comes this powerful debut from a gifted new speech - a sweeping, psychological journey of two childhood friends in Mumbai, India, whose lives converge and then change permanently one fateful nights. India, 1986: Mukta, a 10-year-old village woman from the lower-caste Yellama cult, has come old and must accomplish her destiny of becoming a temple prostitute, as her mom and grandmother do before her. So that they can escape her fate, Mukta is delivered to be considered a house woman for an upper-middle school family in Mumbai. There she discovers a friend in the little girl of the family, high-spirited eight-year-old Tara, who helps her recover from the wounds of her former. Tara introduces Mukta to the completely different world - one of ice cream, reading, and a friendship that soon becomes a sisterhood. But one nights in 1993, Mukta is kidnapped from Tara's house and disappears. Soon thereafter, Tara and her father move to America. A fresh life in Los Angeles awaits them, but Tara never recovers from the loss of her best friend or stops wondering if she was somehow responsible for Mukta's abduction. Eleven years later Tara, now an adult, results to India established to find Mukta. As her search takes her into the brutal underground world of human being trafficking, Tara starts to discover long-buried secrets in her own family that might explain what occurred to Mukta - and why she came to live on with Tara's family to begin with. Moving from a normal Indian village to the bustling modern metropolis of Mumbai to Los Angeles and again, this is a heartbreaking and beautiful portrait of an improbable friendship - a tale of love, betrayal, and eventually redemption.
