An Ordinary Kind of Grace

Ananya is thirty two, quietly lonely, and unable to walk past a street dog without stopping. Then, in a bar with too much brass, she meets Christopher, a charming stranger who is gentle with every animal he passes and vague about everything else. They fall in love fast, the way people warn you not to.

What follows is a life she never planned: a daughter with her stubborn curls, a friendship with a woman in a white saree that grows closer than family, a career she fights for one stolen slide at a time, and a family built slowly, brick by careful brick.
