Sadly, said mother is on her deathbed and this story focuses on her final wish – for her three daughters to make a pilgrimage to India with her ashes. A strict itinerary is to be followed and it matters not that Rajni, Jezmeen and Shirina have little in common – they are to follow orders. Which they do . . . sorta . . . . while dealing with their own personal issues. Rajni must come to terms with how to deal with her son’s much older (and now pregnant) girlfriend. Jezmeen must deal with the aftermath of a tantrum going viral and potentially ruining her chance at becoming a star. And Shirina? Her story is the one that will make you have the feels.

A backdrop like this . . . . .

There’s something about sibling stories that really resonates with me and I’m all about books that tackle not only secrets from the past, but also crises in the present and offer hope for the future as the characters remember . . . .



Combine that with a driver called . . . . .



And that’s the recipe for an auto-request for any future releases.
