    Overview

    A Bestselling Author

    Jyoti is the perfect Indian American daughter: She stayed out of trouble, looked after her sisters, and married a man her parents approved of. So when her husband, Ashok, pushes her to quit her dream job as head chef to focus on conceiving, she obliges - only for Ashok to leave her when she cannot carry to term. Now unemployed, childless, and divorced, Jyoti books a ticket to Tuscany for the summer. Carbs, chianti, and la bella vita inspire Jyoti to experiment with Indian-Italian fusion recipes. But when she goes viral for her cooking vlogs and a shocking reveal comes to light, Jyoti must choose between family acceptance, a fulfilling career, and even motherhood.
