A story that showcases the strength of family bonds and adoption.
The Kite Runner meets Monsoon Wedding during revolution in the Middle East.
The story of a young woman adopting her son as she brings her estranged family back together in fictionalized Sudan and India.
Fans of family dramas and literary fiction including The Namesake, Amitav Ghosh, and Khaled Hosseini will love this heartfelt and compelling story about adoption, personal, and family struggles set in the backdrop of political upheaval.
In 2045, Naina Ranjeeva writes a letter to recount the journey that led to the adoption of her son Nikhil.
Decades earlier, she stumbles upon a lead on the location of her aunt, who had disappeared when Naina was just a child.
After her aunt's disappearance, Naina's family also completely lost contact with her beloved younger cousin, Nitu. With her aunt's location in hand, Naina takes the first step toward locating her cousin by traveling to the Republic of East Africa to search for her aunt.
Her journey eventually leads her to Calcutta where she finds her cousin Nitu and his three-year-old son Nikhil.
After two decades apart, the family starts to bridge the gap caused by years of separation, within the backdrop of political turmoil and a revolution in East Africa, akin to the circumstances that led to the Arab Spring.
Author Puja Guha is an Amazon bestseller and a semi-finalist in Publisher's Weekly Booklife Prize for Fiction.
In this novel, she demonstrates her range outside of international thrillers and suspense by tugging on your heartstrings with this compelling tale of family ties, while still taking readers around the world to places that she has lived and worked.

About the Author
International Development Consultant. Global Citizen.
AUTHOR.
Born into a family of acclaimed Indian architects, Puja Guha traveled with her parents as they worked on projects around the world. After graduating from the University of Pennsylvania, Puja completed her Master's degree in public policy at Sciences Po and the London School of Economics.
Today, she works as an independent consultant on international development programs - primarily in Africa and South Asia - traveling to some of the most economically-challenged countries in the world. Leveraging her scholarship, her ability to speak five languages, and her earnest goal of engendering global economic progress, she continues to learn about, support and embrace new countries.
Along her journey, she's been inspired by politics, culture and setting to write The Ahriman Legacy series and The Confluence, in which she takes readers along with her as her imagination enhances her experiences.
Puja has lived in Kuwait, Toronto, Paris, London, and several American cities including New York, Washington DC, Philadelphia, and San Francisco. She now lives in the Washington D.C. area.
