“Midnight’s Daughter is a poignant memoir that chronicles the journey of an Indian woman who rises above the shadows of her mother’s mental illness, the constraints of poverty, and the weight of Hindu patriarchy. Defying expectations, she breaks free from an arranged marriage she was pressured into, crosses continents for love, and builds a biracial family. Like the freedom fighter she was named after, she discovers her voice and the courage to reclaim her identity, delivering a deeply moving narrative of resilience, love, and self-discovery.”
