Vinita Patil's comfortable life in suburban New Jersey is overturned by a letter postmarked Mumbai. It claims that the son she was told had died at birth is alive in India and desperately needs her help. The news forces her to revisit the secret affair of her youth, a relationship she believed she had put behind her before building a new family in America. To find her son, Vinita must return to the country and memories she left, knowing that the truth may threaten the life she now treasures. Shobhan Bantwal explores motherhood, buried shame and the difficult demands of love in a story of unexpected responsibility and return.
