How much can you judge another woman's choices, especially if that woman is your mother? Maya Lang grew up idolizing her brilliant mother, an accomplished psychologist who immigrated from India and balanced her career with raising children in a traditional home. Her mother's inspiring stories provided motivation and comfort throughout Maya's childhood. However, after moving across the country and becoming a mother herself, their once strong connection begins to weaken. Maya's mother, who was once nurturing, becomes distant as a grandmother. Faced with the challenges of motherhood, Maya realizes that her mother, the person she relied on most, is no longer available to her, leaving her confused and searching for answers. As she reevaluates her childhood stories, she questions her mother's true identity and the authenticity of the narratives about life in India, immigration, and motherhood. This poignant exploration reveals Maya's journey into adulthood, as she learns to reconcile the myths she believed with the truths she uncovers. Ultimately, it is a story about the intricate relationship between a daughter and her mother, the complexities of care, and the understanding necessary for personal growth.
