Summary
Shanti and her family left the warm monsoon rains of India and immigrated to the United States. Their new apartment feels like their old village: Ma cooking luchi, funny stories in Bangla, and Babas big laugh. But outside, everything is different: trick-or-treating, ballet class, and books in English. Back and forth, Shanti moves between her two worlds. She remembers her village while learning her new town. She watches Bollywood films with family and Hollywood movies with friends. She is Indian. She is also American. But where in the world is home?
