Rewriting My Happily Ever After Ranjani Rao

Once I leave my husband's house, am I still a wife?

What happens when the fairy tale marriage falls apart?




Ranjani flies out of Mumbai as a young, starry-eyed bride anticipating an American-style Bollywood-version of her very own happily-ever-after. By thirty, she has a Ph. D., a green card and a daughter. The marriage is rocky but Ranjani is secure in being somebody's daughter, sister, wife, mother.




When the family returns to India, her family situation deteriorates further. When she finally walks out after sixteen years of marriage, Ranjani has to answer the dreaded questions:


What will people say? What about my child? How will I live alone?




Despite her education, work history and experience of living abroad, Ranjani has no idea what lies on the road ahead for her, for her daughter and for their place in society.




While renting a house, paying the bills and figuring out her new life, Ranjani has to overcome private fears, public scrutiny and unexpected loss as she embraces her identity as a single parent.
