Can you ever really go home again?In her award-winning and gripping memoir, Hemangi Sawant explores that question. She emigrated with her husband from India to the United States, and while many immigrants aspire to settle permanently in the States, Sawant dreamed of someday returning to her homeland. Denver to Mumbai: A Story of Returning Home describes the culmination of her thirteen-year pursuit of that dream. Once home, she recounts the joys and trials of transplanting her son, her husband, and herself back to Mumbai, a city she no longer recognizes. Hemangi faces challenges she never expected in a rapidly changing Mumbai, from everyday issues to deeper, soul-probing questions about family, culture, and tradition. Through it all, Hemangi never loses her determination, tenacity, or sense of humor as she shares her story-one that will resonate with anyone who has been an immigrant or has moved away from home, and has harbored a secret dream that whispers, Yes, you can go home again!Hemangi shares:
- The challenges the international move posed for her family.
- Difficulties an American child faces in a new country.
- How she adjusted to the disparity between her expectations and the post-move reality.
- Her joy in introducing her son to his proud heritage and roots.
- Ancient Indian wisdom she learned on her return to her homeland.
- Her unique journey to Mumbai, which provides readers with a firsthand view of that city without the need for a passport.
