When her grandmother arrives at the Houston airport all the way from Pakistan, Mahnoor knows her daily routine is about to change completely. Having Dadi move in means giving up her personal space, and Maha certainly does not have the time or patience to act as an unofficial babysitter. She is far too busy worrying about her upcoming journalism class assignment. Her teacher wants them to film a documentary, but to Maha, that sounds like simple storytelling instead of the serious breaking news she dreams of reporting. As Maha struggles to find a strong subject for her school project, she slowly begins talking with her grandmother. You will follow along as Dadi shares powerful memories of her childhood in northern India and the massive historical event known as Partition, which forced her to leave her home forever. As these incredible family secrets come to light, Maha realizes that her own grandmother's experiences are just as thrilling and important as any headline on the evening news. Dive into this touching story of a Pakistani American girl discovering her history, building an unexpected friendship across generations, and finding the perfect documentary subject right in her own living room.
