Danika believes she can cope with anything. Now, as she keeps vigil at her mother's hospital bed, watching her life slip away, she feels compelled to answer the questions that linger from her childhood in the eighties. What was the state of emergency about? Why did her father leave, and what happened the night no one ever talks about? Only now, with her mother beyond hearing, can Danika break the silence of those difficult years. Now she can speak the words that were always left unsaid. This beautifully crafted novel is a moving exploration of love and bereavement; of the ties that bind mothers, daughters and sisters, and the silences that keep them apart.

After the death of her parents forced twenty-year-old Tamil-American Srashvi to take up legal guardianship of her younger brother, she's hellbent on making the most of the road trip her band friends have planned for the spring vacation. They're all set for their big break and gig at Hard Rock Café, and as the lead guitarist, Srashvi's finally plucking the six strings she never thought she'd touch again. The friends have loaded their minivan with band equipment and booze to last them three days on the road, but there's an extra piece of luggage: Srashvi's younger brother Sudhir, whose neighbor called at the last moment to say they can't babysit him while she's gone. Srashvi challenged Social Services to keep Sudhir, but playing mom has taken a toll on her these past few months. It's bad enough that he's around (talk about keeping things PG), but he falls sick along the way, and she now has to help him recover. Over three days of spring break, Srashvi must decide if trying to get back to the life before her parents died is worth risking the life she has right now—and a brother who is all she has left of her family. Content Warnings: grief, death of loved ones (happens off-page, is mentioned briefly, no graphic details)
