Summary:

"Reha feels torn between two worlds: school, where she's the only Indian American student, and home, with her family's traditions and holidays. Reha's parents don't understand why she's conflicted. They only notice when Reha doesn't meet their strict expectations. Reha feels disconnected from her mother, Amma, although their names are linked. Reha means 'star' and Punam means 'moon.' Then Reha finds out that her Amma is sick. Really sick. Reha, who dreams of becoming a doctor even though she can't stomach the sight of blood, is determined to make her Amma well again. She'll be the perfect daughter, if it means saving her Amma's life."-- Provided by publisher.
