Originally from India, her family still holds on to many old-world customs and traditions that seem stifling to a young North American woman.

Against her mother’s wishes, she falls for a young man named Liam who asks her to run away with him. Meena must then make a painful choice–one that will lead to stunning and irrevocable consequences.
Heartbreaking and beautiful, Everything Was Good-bye is an unforgettable story about family, love, and loss, and the struggle to live in two different cultural worlds.
