Description

Lucky Boy by Shanthi Sekaran is a powerful and moving novel that explores the complexities of motherhood and identity. When Soli, an undocumented Mexican woman, finds herself in immigrant detention, her young son is placed under the care of Kavya, an Indian-American wife struggling to build a family of her own. As Soli fights for her son's future, Kavya grapples with her own desires and limitations, forging a bond with someone else's child. This poignant tale weaves together two women's stories, set against the backdrop of rural Oaxaca, Berkeley's Gourmet Ghetto, and Silicon Valley, to create a rich and thought-provoking portrait of love, family, and the American dream. Through its vivid characters and evocative settings, Lucky Boy offers a powerful exploration of the ways in which dreams and determination can reshape a family.
