The first baby to survive after several miscarriages, Kimi grows up in a mansion at the top of Mumbais Pali Hill, surrounded by love and privilege. But at eleven years old, she develops a rare illness that requires her to be confined to a germ-free ivory tower in her home, with only the Arabian Sea churning outside her window for company until one person dares venture into her world.Tasked at fourteen years old with supporting his family, Rahul Savant shows up to wash Kimis windows, and an unlikely friendship develops across the plastic curtain of her isolation room. As years pass, Rahul becomes Kimis eyes to the outside worldand she becomes his inspiration to better himself by enrolling in the police force. But when a life-saving heart transplant offers the chance of a real future, both must face all that ties them together and keeps them apart.As Kimi anticipates a new life, Rahul struggles with loving someone he may yet lose. And when his investigation into a black market organ ring run by a sociopathic gang lord exposes dangerous secrets that cut too close to home, only Rahuls deep, abiding connection with Kimi can keep her safeand reveal the true meaning of courage, loss, and second chances.Infused with the rhythms of life in modern-day India, acclaimed author Sonali Devs candid, rewarding novel beautifully evokes all the complexities of the human heart.
