In this extraordinary novel in letters, an Indian immigrant girl in
New York City and a Kentucky coal miner's son find strength and
perspective by sharing their true selves across the miles.
Meena and River have a lot in common: fathers forced to work away
from home to make ends meet, grandmothers who mean the world to
them, and faithful dogs. But Meena is an Indian immigrant girl
living in New York City's Chinatown, while River is a Kentucky coal
miner's son. As Meena's family studies for citizenship exams and
River's town faces devastating mountaintop removal, this unlikely
pair become pen pals, sharing thoughts and, as their camaraderie
deepens, discovering common ground in their disparate experiences.
With honesty and humor, Meena and River bridge the miles between
them, creating a friendship that inspires bravery and defeats
cultural misconceptions. Narrated in two voices, each voice
distinctly articulated by a separate gifted author, this chronicle
of two lives powerfully conveys the great value of being and having
a friend and the joys of opening our lives to others who live
beneath the same sun.
