Synopsis

In the timely yet timeless audiobook Home Is in Between, critically acclaimed author Mitali Perkins describes the experience of navigating multiple cultures and embracing the complex but beautiful home in between.Shanti misses the warm monsoon rains in India. Now in America, she watches fall leaves fly past her feet.Still, her family’s apartment feels like a village: Mama cooking luchi, funny stories in Bangla, and Baba’s big laugh. But outside, everything is different – trick-or-treating, ballet class, and English books.Back and forth, Shanti trudges between her two worlds. She remembers her village and learns her new town. She watches Bollywood movies at home and Hollywood movies with her friends. She is Indian. She is also American. How should she define home?
