Shilpi Somaya Gowda (UNC '92) will be returning to Chapel Hill to read from her debut novel, Secret Daughter, released earlier this year by William Morrow/ HarperCollins, and discuss her inspiration for the story, which came during one of her summer internships as a Morehead Scholar.
Secret Daughter explores the emotion terrain of family, loss, identity and culture, witnessed through two families -- one Indian, one American -- and the daughter who indelibly binds them.
It has already become an international bestseller, with over 150,000 copies sold in North America, is being translated into 10 foreign languages, and has been recognized as a top pick by Independent Booksellers, Elle Magazine, Good Housekeeping, and ChaptersIndigo.
The event will include remarks from the author and a reading, followed by Q&A. Copies of the book will be available for purchase and signing.
