Book Overview

A powerful story about the life-giving force of roti--a round Indian flatbread--and where it comes from, the people who grow it, and what it symbolizes within two families, inspired by the farmers' protests in India.

A roti isn't just a roti. It's a day in the hot sun tending to the wheat fields. It's little grains of truth about where we come from. It's a snack in the car for the perfect road trip lunch. It's hundreds of hands over thousands of years, kneading together our story.

Told through alternating perspectives of a family in America and a family in India, this powerful cross-continental, intergenerational story proves that something as small as a grain of wheat can create a powerful sense of community.
