This is a story of an immigrant, a woman who migrates from Sri Lanka to the United States in search of freedom from societal constraints. She travels across the world with a six year old daughter in pursuit of further education. The narrative outlines the challenges she faces as she adjusts to her new life, raising her daughter as a single parent and learning to play the multiple roles of parent, student and breadwinner. She learns to balance the pursuit of freedom with her desire for love, family, friendship and career, a balancing act she describes as a dance of freedom and desire.
