KDL Description:

After an arranged marriage in India, Priya and her husband move to California, where they share a house with his parents and she is expected to be the traditional daughter-in-law, but her growing love for her new husband is threatened by her disapproving family, her untraditional job, and a secret life.

Amazon Description:

After an arranged marriage in her native India, Priya moves with her husband to California, where they share a house with his parents. Playing the traditional daughter-in-law role, she’s expected to clean, cook, and — because she doesn’t immediately get pregnant — find a job as well!

But the job Priya lands isn’t at all what her in-laws had in mind for a traditional Indian wife. She soon finds herself with a secret life that she must hide from her disapproving new family.

All the while, she is growing into a marriage to a man whose loyalty is decidedly torn between his parents and his bride. This is hardly surprising, given that he met his wife only a week before their wedding. The question is, can this fragile new love survive the pull between tradition and ambition?
