In the City of Light, she chases lead after lead that help her piece together a startling portrait of her mother. Sophie jets off to Paris, even though the impulsive trip may risk her impending arranged marriage.
Now that Sophie knows the truth, she’s determined to find the mother who abandoned her. But once in Paris, Nita’s decision and its consequences would haunt her in ways she never expected. Fueled by her creative ambitions, Nita moved to Paris, the artists’ capital of the world-even though it meant leaving her family behind. Nita Shah had everything most women dreamed of in her hometown of Ahmedabad, India-a loving husband, a doting daughter, financial security-but in her heart, she felt like she was living a lie. But when her father passes away, Sophie discovers a cache of hidden letters revealing a shattering truth: her mother didn’t die. For twenty-two years, she shouldered the burden of that loss. Sophie Shah was six when she learned her mother Nita had died.
