Publisher's Synopsis
Meena is a 24-year-old woman who was adopted at birth by parents of East Indian origin after they arrived in North America as immigrants. Meena's father died when Meena was in her late teens. She has been experiencing stresses at work, as well as ongoing tensions with her mother. Meena is describing pressures she experiences from her mother to adopt traditional Indian values, and the impact of this pressure on her and on her relationship with her partner Jeremy. David adopts a metaphor to try and capture this dilemma.
