A rebel in her own quiet way, Tracy Austin was never one to sit silently by and let others dictate her life. A passive yet strong-willed young woman, she did not let her upbringing in a traditional Brahmin household keep her from challenging customs and traditions. In many ways, she was a victim of circumstances, but she found the strength to hold her ground when events overtook her. As a child, she played in the foothills of the Himalayas, where she blissfully chased butterflies and rainbows Her two best friends, Chotu and Chandini, were two tame elephantsand her favorite partners in spirited games of hide-and-seek. Her relationships were complicated . Tracy wasnt sure if she even understood what love meant, when much of what she had experienced was so painful. When she is reunited with Mark, a young man who further confuses her definitions and expectations, she dares to dream of a new beginning. But on what should have been one of the happiest days of her life, her world is ripped apart. As she is giving birth, an offhand comment made by a doctor reveals something she never knew about her own parentage. Tracy is devastated. Can she find the courage and strength to move forward with her dignity and hope intact?
