From the critically beloved, bestselling author of The World We
Found and The Space Between Us, whom the New York Times Book Review
calls a "perceptive and ...piercing writer," comes a profound,
heartbreakingly honest novel about friendship, family, secrets,
forgiveness, and second chances. An experienced psychologist,
Maggie carefully maintains emotional distance from her patients.
But when she meets a young Indian woman who tried to kill herself,
her professional detachment disintegrates. Cut off from her family
in India, Lakshmi is desperately lonely and trapped in a loveless
marriage to a domineering man who limits her world to their small
restaurant and grocery store. Moved by her plight, Maggie treats
Lakshmi in her home office for free, quickly realizing that the
despondent woman doesn't need a shrink; she needs a friend.
Determined to empower Lakshmi as a woman who feels valued in her
own right, Maggie abandons protocol, and soon doctor and patient
have become close friends. But while their relationship is deeply
affectionate, it is also warped by conflicting expectations. When
Maggie and Lakshmi open up and share long-buried secrets, the
revelations will jeopardize their close bond, shake their faith in
each other, and force them to confront painful choices.
