Book Synopsis
Although Chitra Divakaruni's poetry has won praise and awards for many years, it is her luminous, exquisitely crafted prose (Ms.) that is quickly making her one of the brightest rising stars in the changing face of American literature.

From the story of a young bride whose fairy-tale vision of California is shattered when her husband is murdered and she must face the future on her own, to a proud middle-aged divorced woman determined to succeed in San Francisco, Divakaruni's award-winning poetry fuses here with prose for the first time to cr
