Summary: The book features twelve intimate and moving portraits of living grandmothers (nanis, dadis, aajis, ammoommas) from different backgrounds across ten Indian states. The project was sparked by the author's personal loss when her own grandmother—who courageously left an abusive marriage in the 1950s to raise a child alone—passed away. Prompted to search for other rule-breaking matriarchs, Khanna spent four years tracking down and interviewing extraordinary elder women.
