Book Description

Sundeep is a fresh faced twenty-year-old when she arrives in New York having escaped her dysfunctional uber traditional Indian family. She convinces them into letting her attend theatre school, where she is ready to start her brand new existence away from her family's abuse. Almost immediately she becomes involved with her professor who is twice her age while maintaining a relationship with her high school sweetheart who decides to pay her a surprise visit. She realizes that she is caught up in the type of woman she thinks she should be, what she thinks others want her to be, only to realize she has no idea who she really is. And she realizes it is time for her to make a change. So, she must face her past. A past filled with a tormented childhood, abuse and the death of her best friend. Morrison's story gives readers a front row seat to how living a life for others can lead you down a path of destruction. Being a woman is hard. Most of the time we are either on the giving or receiving end of labeling women. Some women strive to attain and maintain these labels while others spend their lives trying to shed them. Morrison's raw honest life story serves as part memoir, part survival guidebook and is what every girl needs to make her journey easier. As a daughter, sister, wife and mother Morrison is fed up with the main stream message that the only way you'll get noticed is by being perfect, mean or sexy. Morrison illustrates how healing your past can help to identify, avoid and shed the label that you often unknowingly wear.
