Rajni, a school principal is a stickler for order. Jezmeen, a thirty-year-old struggling actress, fears her big break may never come. Shirina, the peacemaking 'good' sister married into wealth and enjoys a picture-perfect life. On her deathbed, their mother voices one last wish: that her daughters will make a pilgrimage together to the Golden Temple in Amritsar to carry out her final rites. After a trip to India with her mother long ago, Rajni vowed never to return. But she's always been a dutiful daughter, and cannot, even now, refuse her mother's request. Jezmeen has just been publicly fired from her television job, so the trip to India is a welcome break to help her pick up the pieces of her broken career. Shirina's in-laws are pushing her to make a pivotal decision about her married life; time away will help her decide whether to meekly obey, or to bravely stand up for herself for the first time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Balli Kaur Jaswal","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":29489563533425,"sku":"HAR-276","price":439.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0015\/0601\/7393\/products\/9789353570743.jpg?v=1564660539"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.booksetgo.com\/collections\/balli-kaur-jaswal\/age-group_adult.oembed","provider":"BOOKSETGO","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
