The Uncertainty of Memory

More about the book

Jaya has arrived in India, fulfilling a promise to scatter her mother's ashes on the Ganges River. She meets a street urchin who carries a beat up copy of Grimm's and who writes fairy tales herself. The girl claims to be searching for her long-lost mother, supposedly an American hippie with a rattlesnake tattooed around her leg. As Jaya processes her recent bereavement, she begins to hope that the girl's story is true. And that maybe, just maybe, they haven't both been orphaned. The Uncertainty of Memory is a heartfelt story about the transcendent power of hope, friendship, and maternal love.
