To cure her post-senior year

mom on a gap year trip to New Delhi, hoping India can lessen her grief and
bring her voice back.
In the world's most polluted

of this magical, complicated place. With the help of Kabir--plus Bollywood
celebrities, fourteenth-century ruins, karaoke parties, and Sufi saints--Noreen discovers
new meanings for home.

But when a family scandal erupts,
Noreen and Kabir must face complex questions in their own relationship: What
does it mean to truly stand by someone--and what are the boundaries of love?
