She wants everyone to know thereās more to her family than pain and regret. So she does something you should never do ā she tells a journalist the truth: itās a bad movie.
Soon sheās at the center of a media storm, battling accusations from the press and the paparazzi, from protesters on the right and advocates on the left. Her twin ten-year-olds know they need help ā and who better to call than family? But thatās where it gets really messy because Indiaās not just an adoptive motherā¦
The one thing she knows for sure is what makes a family isnāt blood. And it isnāt love. No matter how theyāre formed, the truth about family is this: it's complicated.
