Synopsis:
Discover stories of fear, triumph, and spectacular celebration in this warm-hearted novel of interconnected stories that celebrates the diversity of South Asian American experiences in a local community center.
Discover stories of fear, triumph, and spectacular
celebration in the fictional town of Maple Grove, New Jersey, where the local
kids gather at the community center to discover new crushes, fight against
ignorance, and even save a life. Cheer for Chaya as she wins chess
tournaments (unlike Andrew, she knows stupid sugary soda won’t make you better
at chess), and follow as Jeevan learns how to cook traditional food (it turns
out he can cook sabji– he just can’t eat it).
These stories, edited by bestselling and award-winning
Pakistani-American author Hena Khan, are filled with humor, warmth, and
possibility. They showcase a diverse array of talented authors with heritage
from the Indian subcontinent, including beloved favorites and rising stars, who
each highlight the beauty and necessity of a community center that everyone
calls home.
