This book is written from my own personal experience. When I immigrated to America a long time ago I was very fearful because I did not know that the people of America would accept me but to my surprise, they did warm-heartedly. When I started a new life in my new adopted land the language, culture, traditions, morals, beliefs, and everyday way of life were totally foreign to me. To assimilate into this new country while still retaining my culture and beliefs was even harder.
I had clashes with my children occasionally and then I learned to adjust to their views. I endured lots of hardship in my life but I knew that all opportunities on the horizon will bring good life for me and my family ultimately.
Change is imminent- whether we like it or not. Samantha in my book found out the hard way and she paid a high price for that. She was heartbroken to see that her beloved country had gone through a dramatic change. Changes were at every level in India. She did not want to move forward. When a tragedy struck her it opened her eyes to this change and prepared her to accept her son-in-law who was Christian but would she?
All those tears we can’t see address many issues from the achievement of the American Dream by an immigrant woman who lacked money and opportunity in India to the physical assault of her daughter then accepting changes with tragic circumstances. This book is a literary fiction recognized by C.S. Holmes from Indiereaders.com.
