The Direction of the Wind

An emotional tale spanning decades and countries about a young lady looking for information about a mother she hardly recalls.

At the age of six, Sophie Shah became aware of her mother Nita's passing. She carried that grief on her shoulders for twenty-two years. However, when her father dies, Sophie finds a secret letter cache that breaks her heart—her mother didn't really die. She walked away.

In her birthplace of Ahmedabad, India, Nita Shah had everything most women yearned for: a devoted husband, a beloved daughter, and stable finances, but deep inside, she felt as if she was deceiving herself. Driven by her artistic aspirations, Nita relocated to Paris, the global hub for artists, despite the fact that it required her to part from her relatives. However, Nita had no idea how her choice and its effects would follow her to Paris.

Sophie is determined to locate her mother, who abandoned her, now that she is aware of the reality. Despite the fact that her approaching planned marriage may be jeopardized by her impetuous journey to Paris, Sophie takes off. She follows trail after lead in the City of Light that enable her to put together an astonishing picture of her mother. While Sophie travels to Paris in search of Nita, she could also uncover aspects of her own identity that she was unaware of.
