Mili Rathod hasn't seen her husband in twenty years--not since she was promised to him at the age of four. Yet marriage has allowed Mili a freedom rarely given to girls in her village. Her grandmother has even allowed her to leave India and study in America for eight months, all to make her the perfect modern wife. Which is exactly what Mili longs to be--if her husband would just come and claim her. Bollywood's favorite director, Samir Rathod, has come to Michigan to secure a divorce for his older brother. Persuading a naïve village girl to sign the papers should be easy for someone with Samir's tabloid-famous charm. But Mili is neither a fool nor a gold-digger. Open-hearted yet complex, she's trying to reconcile her independence with cherished traditions. And before he can stop himself, Samir is immersed in Mili's life--cooking her dal and rotis, escorting her to her roommate's elaborate Indian wedding, and wondering where his loyalties and happiness lie.

From India to Ypsilanti submitted by sdunav on June 12, 2015, 5:36pm Fun romance set in various towns and cities in India and Ypsilanti, Michigan. Arranged marriage, child abuse, racism and international marriages and extramarital affairs give the story a little more depth than most romance novels.

Highly recommended submitted by clmcdl on June 19, 2015, 10:13am Highly recommended - good characters, interesting situations, and humor, as well.
