But when he abandons them for his secret family, Nalini is left battling for her family's survival.

As her daughter Maya starts shunning her heritage in favour of western practices, Nalini decides to remind her of home.

But the truth threatens to surface, and Nalini fears that her lies will break her already fragile family for good... 'An absorbing novel about mothers, daughters, food and truth.'
