Where We Come From Pamela Q Fernandes

Where We Come From is a gripping, emotional tale that deals with love in small towns and the harsh realities of an Indian farmers' life. It raises the question of how where we come from affects the way we love others.

After having his future crushed by an ex, who betrayed him and walked away, Surya Atwal places an ad for a bride, a woman who shares his dreams for a home and family. This time he won't let his heart make the decision. He'll do it on his own terms without risking his legacy.

Ashtami Sial, a no nonsense Delhi girl with a sassy attitude, matches her bangles with her churidars. She's not afraid of hard work but refuses to be simply a brood mare to a dour husband. She's determined to build a family with love and will do anything to achieve it. Even herding her husband with the cattle, and building the village herself.

Life in Rori, a rural village in Haryana where the only neighbors are cattle and chickens, takes hard work and a little luck. Surya and Ashtami butt heads as the harsh realities of farming life threatens their home and livelihood. But the shadow of the woman who ripped out Surya's heart looms over their marriage and might cost him more than he bargained for.

Can Surya risk his heart with someone new and leave his past behind? Or will he lose the one person who fell in love with him at first sight?
