Radiant fugitives : a novel
(Book)

After being exiled from her family when she came out as lesbian, Seema constructed a successful life for herself in the West. Now, nine months pregnant and estranged from the Black father of her unborn son, she seeks solace in the company of those she once thought lost to her: her ailing mother, Nafeesa, traveling alone to California from Chennai, and her devoutly religious sister, Tahera, a doctor living in Texas with her husband and children. But instead of a joyful reconciliation, the events of this fateful week unearth years of betrayal, misunderstanding, and complicated layers of love.
