"This transporting, globe-trotting tale filled me with wander-lust. Prabasi describes beautiful, surprising firsts as she travels the planet--from earliest toddler memories, through to adulthood. When she settles in uptown manhattan and brings an international lens to her local business, the book soars with political and personal ferocity, never losing the warmth of neighbors connecting over coffee."
