A heartfelt story that spans continents and generations, about a
young woman who searches for answers about a mother she barely
remembers. Sophie Shah was six when she learned her mother, Nita,
had died. For twenty-two years, she shouldered the burden of that
loss. But when her father passes away, Sophie discovers a cache of
hidden letters revealing a shattering truth: her mother didn't die.
She left. Nita Shah had everything most women dreamed of in her
hometown of Ahmedabad, India-a loving husband, a doting daughter,
financial security-but in her heart, she felt like she was living a
lie. Fueled by her creative ambitions, Nita moved to Paris, the
artists' capital of the world-even though it meant leaving her
family behind. But once in Paris, Nita's decision and its
consequences would haunt her in ways she never expected. Now that
Sophie knows the truth, she's determined to find the mother who
abandoned her. Sophie jets off to Paris, even though the impulsive
trip may risk her impending arranged marriage. In the City of
Light, she chases lead after lead that help her piece together a
startling portrait of her mother. Though Sophie goes to Paris to
find Nita, she may just also discover parts of herself she never
knew.
