26-year-old Akash Amin has everything he ever wanted, but as he
tries to kickstart his songwriting career and commit to his
boyfriend, he is haunted by the painful memories of the first boy
he ever loved. When his mother tells him she is selling the family
home, Akash returns to Illinois, hoping to finally move on. Renu
Amin always seemed perfect: doting husband, beautiful house,
healthy sons. But as the one-year anniversary of her husband's
death approaches, Renu can't stop wondering if she chose the wrong
life thirty-five years ago . Together, Renu and Akash pack up the
house, retreating further into the secrets that stand between them.
When their pasts catch up to them, Renu and Akash must decide
between the lives they left behind and the ones they've since
created. By turns irreverent and tender, filled with the beats of
'90s R&B, Tell Me How to Be is about our earliest betrayals and
the cost of reconciliation. But most of all, it is the love story
of a mother and son each trying to figure out how to be in the
world.

The New York Times Book Review Lost in the jungle of Los Angeles,
Akash Amin is filled with shame. Shame for liking men. Shame for
wanting to be a songwriter. Shame for not being like his perfect
brother. Shame for his alcoholism. And most of all, shame for what
happened with the first boy he ever loved. When his mother tells
him she is selling the family home, Akash must return to Illinois
to confront his demons and the painful memory of a sexual awakening
that became a nightmare. Akash's mum, Renu, is also plagued by
guilt. She had it all: doting husband, beautiful house, healthy
sons. But as the one-year anniversary of her husband's death
approaches Renu can't stop wondering if she chose the wrong life
thirty-five years ago and should have stayed in London with her
first love. Together, Renu and Akash pack up the house, retreating
further into the secrets that stand between them. When their pasts
catch up to them, Renu and Akash must decide between the lives they
left behind and the ones they've since created. By turns irreverent
