This memoir of Neeva Mathema Pradhan, who straddles the worlds of America and Nepal, is a story many in transient Northern Virginia can relate to. It is a story of finding balance and peace with interweaving the traditional customs of Nepal with the ever-changing lifestyle in America, and how the two cultures can bring almost a harmony to one’s life. (April 2015)
