A woman's ambitions clash with familial expectations in a captivating novel about generational secrets and self-discovery by the bestselling author of The Candid Life of Meena Dave. Raised by her mother and grandmother and tutored in the healing wonders of spices, Tulsi Gupta is expected to carry on the ancestral tradition from her family's Salem spice shop. Restless and reluctant, Tulsi yearns to follow her own path--destiny has other plans. When Tulsi finds a letter written by her grandmother, addressed and never sent, that speaks of a long-ago betrayal, she decides to unravel the mystery as a distraction. But Tulsi stumbles into much more than she bargained for. With each new discovery, she learns there's much more to her mother and grandmother than their expertise in the remedial aromas of coriander and cloves. When an attractive neighbor begins renovating the shuttered deli next door, Tulsi finds the courage to break her routine and chase the unexpected. As Tulsi digs into the past and secrets come to light, she's determined to heal old family wounds and find her true purpose--and maybe even love--every step of the way.

The story of a woman trying to find herself and gently reject her family‘s expectations for her to join their business as an Ayurvedic spice healer, there were a lot of plot lines here but ultimately it was a pleasant and entertaining read.

An immersive read, basically a coming of age story despite the romance, family drama and humor. Tulsi has been trained all her life to be a spice healer by her ba and single mother, but she always wanted to travel….Then the internet hits their shop, bad press and her mother‘s past love. A very satisfying read.
