The Lucky Lotus
A memoir of identity, survival, healing and finding my own voice.
The Lucky Lotus is my memoir of childhood, adoption, survival and the long journey toward understanding where I came from and who I became. It is the story behind so much of the work I create today—and the beginning of my decision to tell my story in my own voice.
The Blue Bear Series
Inspired by my childhood memories, the Blue Bear Series follows a young girl and her beloved blue teddy bear through stories of courage, belonging, discovery and finding home.

Journey Home

At six years old, a young girl leaves India and travels across the world to join a family she has never met. With her beloved Blue Bear beside her, she faces an unfamiliar language, unfamiliar faces and a completely new home.

My New World
A story of discovery, belonging and learning to find joy in a new home.
As a young girl begins settling into her new life in America, everything around her feels different—from the people and places to the everyday experiences she is learning to understand. With Blue Bear by her side, she discovers moments of wonder, connection and happiness in her unfamiliar world.
My New World continues the Blue Bear Series, inspired by my childhood memories of adjusting to life in America and beginning to find a place where I belonged.
What the Ocean Brought Me
A story of memory, longing and the magic of looking across the sea.
On the Oregon Coast, a young girl looks across the vast Pacific and wonders if India might be somewhere just beyond the horizon. With Blue Bear beside her, the beach becomes a place of discovery—filled with driftwood, stones, tide pools and treasures carried in by the sea.
What the Ocean Brought Me is inspired by my childhood memories of the Oregon Coast and the questions I carried about the home and family I had left behind.
Someday I’m Going There
A story of hope, imagination and holding on to the place you came from.
As a young girl builds a life in America, India is never far from her thoughts. She wonders about the country she left behind and holds on to the hope that someday she will return. With Blue Bear beside her, that faraway place remains part memory, part dream and part promise.
