Book Description
INSTANT NATIONAL BESTSELLER This delightful debut rom-com follows the adventures of a woman trying to connect with her South Asian roots and introduces readers to a memorable cast of characters in a veritable feast of food, family traditions, and fun. Manny Dogra is the beautiful young CEO of Breakup, a highly successful company that helps people manage their relationship breakups. As preoccupied as she is with her business, she’s also planning her wedding to handsome architect Adam Jamieson while dealing with the loss of her beloved parents. For reasons Manny has never understood, her mother and father, who were both born in India, always wanted her to become an “All-American” girl. So that’s what she did. She knows next to nothing about her South Asian heritage, and that’s never been a problem—until her parents are no longer around, and an image of Manny that’s been Photoshopped to make her skin look more white appears on a major magazine cover. Suddenly, the woman who built an empire encouraging people to be true to themselves is having her own identity crisis. But when an irritating client named Sammy Patel approaches Manny with an odd breakup request, the perfect solution presents itself: If they both agree to certain terms, he’ll give her a crash course in being “Indian” at his brother’s wedding. What follows is days of dancing and dal, masala and mehndi as Manny meets the lovable, if endlessly interfering, aunties and uncles of the Patel family, and, along the way, discovers much more than she could ever have anticipated.

Book Description
A series of embarrassing moments [occasionally interrupted by curry]...This debut memoir talks about sex, samosas, and spirits. Sejal is the brown sheep of her traditional Indian family. As a first-generation American, she flounces through life with ill grace and sarcasm. Whether it's walking into the monks' quarters while they are undressing, meeting (and scaring) the legendary Larry David, or even just bringing home her very white boyfriend to meet her family--awkwardness ensues. Sejal brings a humorous twist to uncomfortable subjects like death, mental illness, and interracial relationships. This coming-of-age story examines what it's like to experience a clash of cultures as you try to discover your own identity. You'll laugh, you'll cry...but you'll mostly cringe.

Book Description
Seventy-five years ago, the British left India and the country became independent. But are we really free? Even today we are colonized in our minds. Take a look at the way we speak, how we dress, what we eat, how we live – we are chasing quinoa over amaranth, avocado over amla, olive oil over desi ghee, guitar over sitar, ballet over Kathak, and Spanish over Sanskrit. There is nothing wrong in learning from other cultures, it only enriches and enhances you, but not at the cost of denigrating your own. Culture during Crisis is a thought-provoking account that talks about the depth of our culture and how it is not reaching the world or even capturing the minds and hearts of most Indians. With interesting anecdotes and vivid conversations with India’s leading luminaries on various aspects of our heritage, this book stresses on the need to brand and position our culture correctly.

Book Description
From Roxane Gay to Leslie Jamison, thirty brilliant writers share their timeless stories about the everlasting magic—and occasional misery—of living in the Big Apple, in a new edition of the classic anthology. In the revised edition of this classic collection, thirty writers share their own stories of loving and leaving New York, capturing the mesmerizing allure the city has always had for writers, poets, and wandering spirits. Their essays often begin as love stories do, with the passion of something newly discovered: the crush of subway crowds, the streets filled with manic energy, and the sudden, unblinking certainty that this is the only place on Earth where one can become exactly who she is meant to be. They also share the grief that comes like a gut-punch, when the grand metropolis loses its magic and the pressures of New York's frenetic life wear thin for even the most dedicated dwellers. As friends move away, rents soar, and love—still—remains just out of reach, each writer's goodbye is singular and universal, just like New York itself.

Book Description
John Parker-Roth cannot believe that marriage is necessary for his happiness. He would far rather pursue his interest in horticulture, but if one day he should find a female who shared his passion for flowers--a level-headed, calm sort of female--he might reconsider. Certainly the lovely young woman who has just tumbled into his lap will not do, as she possesses neither of those admirable qualities. Yet Miss Margaret Peterson does have many things in her favor. To begin with, she is a true English rose, blushing a delectable pink. And she is not entirely clothed. Her full mouth begs to be kissed. If only she would not wriggle so ... oh, dear. He cannot ignore the sudden vision of her in his bed, but he must.
