Description

Water and Meena have a great deal in keeping: dads required to work abroad to create ends meet, grandmothers who mean the planet for them, and trustworthy pets. But Meena is definitely an Indian immigrant woman residing in Nyc s Chinatown, while Water is just a Kentucky coal miner s boy. The unlikely couple become pen-pals, expressing ideas on their lifestyles and, as their friendship deepens, on bigger problems such as for instance activism, immigration, prejudice, and racism. Meena faces nuisance by way of a landlord, s household reports for citizenship examinations, and encounters the demise of Meena s grandma in India, while Water s city faces disastrous mountaintop removal, moving him right into a demonstration drive and conflict with the governor.
