Summary:

"These intimate stories of South Indian immigrants and the families they left behind center women's lives and ask how women both claim and surrender power ... Traveling from Pittsburgh to Washington to Tamil Nadu, these astonishing stories about dislocation and dissonance see immigrants and their families confront the costs of leaving and staying, identifying sublime symmetries in lives growing apart."--Front jacket flap.
