Until, while working for Doctors Without Borders in a Mumbai slum, his wife, Jen, discovered a black-market organ transplant ring. Before she could expose the truth, Jen was killed. <br> <br>Two years after the tragedy, Nic is a cruise ship doctor who spends his days treating seasickness and sunburn and his nights in a boozy haze. On one of those blurry evenings on deck, Nic meets a woman who makes a startling claim: she received Jen's heart in a transplant and has a message for him. Nic wants to discount Jess Koirala's story as absurd, but there's something about her reckless desperation that resonates despite his doubts. <br> <br>Jess has spent years working her way out of a nightmarish life in Calcutta and into a respectable Bollywood dance troupe. Now she faces losing the one thing that matters—her young son. She needs to uncover the secrets Jen risked everything for; but the unforeseen bond that results between her and Nic is both a lifeline and a perilous complication. <br> <br>Delving beyond the surface of modern Indian-American life, acclaimed author Sonali Dev's page-turning novel is both riveting and emotionally rewarding—an extraordinary story of human connection, bravery, and hope. <br> <br> <b>“[A] seductive and complex story of love lost and then found.” —<i>Publishers Weekly </i>(starred review)</b> <br> <br> <b>“Stunning.” —<i>Booklist </i>(starred review)</b> </div> </div>
