About the book: From her cheating boyfriend to her dead father and cold, judgmental mother, Daly knows she can't trust others to be there when it counts. This cynicism begins to melt away when she meets Kashi, a light-hearted charmer from India, who decides he cares too much to let her fade into the background of her own life. After a series of false starts, their quirky romance carries them to India, where Daly must win the approval of Kashi's family in order to seal their "forever." Meanwhile, Laine struggles to cope with the pain of early widowhood, fleeing into the pages of her well-worn library and emerging only to perform her duties as a social worker at the crisis pregnancy center. Although her daughter wants nothing more than to work as an artist, Laine doesn't know how to redirect Daly to a more suitable profession without further damaging their tenuous relationship. Can Laine look past her pain to learn from an unlikely mentor? Has Daly finally found someone whom she can trust? Will the women recognize their common bonds before the relationship is broken beyond repair? Torn Together, Emlyn Chand's first sojourn into Literary/Women's Fiction, illustrates how our similarities often drive us apart. Get Torn Together through Amazon, Barnes & Noble, or Kobo Books.

Thank you for the wonderful review, EP comrade, and thank you for joining this tour. I can't wait to read Desert Rice as I've told you a million times, and it's almost time for me to do so.
