Overview
Ā
āA heartbreaking yet hopeful story about the resilience of the human spirit in the face of insurmountable odds.āāEtaf Rum, New York Times bestselling author of A Woman Is No Man
With a sharp wit and sharper tongue, twenty-three-year old Rakhi Kumar is nobodyās fool. Sure, she lives alone in a slum and works as a lowly office assistant for the renowned lawyer, Gauri Verma, who gave her a fresh start. But sheās come a long way from her childhood on the streets of Mumbai. Most important, sheās busy enough to distract herself from the nightmares of a grisly childhood incident that led to the disappearance of her best friend.
Ā
Fiercely intelligent, Rakhi could be doing so much more than making chai, but she allows herself to be underestimated by her colleagues at Justice For All, Gauriās cash-strapped rights law office. These days, itās becoming harder for Rakhi to keep her head down as Gauri desperately tries to save her organization by recruiting former Bollywood actress and infamous nineties āthong girl,ā Rubina Mansoor, to be their celebrity ambassador. But not all money is good money. Convincing Gauri to make increasingly brash moves, Rubina demands an internship for a young family friend, Harvard-bound graduate student, Alex Lalwani-Diamond. An ambitious, naĆÆve rich kid with a savior complex, Alex persuades Rakhi to show him āthe real India.ā In exchange, heāll do something to further Rakhiās dreams, in a transaction that seems harmless, at ļ¬rst.
Ā
As old guilt and new aspirations collide, everything Rakhi once knew to be true is set ablaze. And as the stakes mount, she will come face-to-face with the difficult choices and moral compromisesĀ one must make in pursuit of self-preservation, and ultimately, survival. Such Big Dreams is a moving, smart, and arrestingly clever look at the cost of reclaiming oneās story.
