Summary | The Olanders are a modern family in a globalized world. Jaya, the daughter of an Indian diplomat and Keith, an ambitious banker from middle-class Philadelphia, meet in a London pub in 1988 and build a life together in suburban California. Their strong marriage is built on shared beliefs and love for their two children. But love and prosperity cannot protect them from sudden, unspeakable tragedy, and the family's foundation begins to crack as each member struggles to seek a way forward. |
