Maya and her mother travel back to India to sell her grandfather's house. Maya isn't super excited about spending most of her summer in India, but quickly makes friends with her cousin and spends time with the housekeeper who has worked with the family for generations, Kamala Mami. It takes Maya's friendship with the housekeeper to discover that Kamala Mami has secrets and is in need of help.
This was short and sweet, but the characters didn't seem very developed, including Maya. Under the theme of American teenager going to India with her family, I thought Monsoon Summer was much better. This could be recommended to a young teen who isn't looking for a romance, even if it is in the subplot context. Fairly forgettable.
