“What am I doing? Am I running away?”
When she is eight, Anupama loses her mother. She sees her family crumble when her father marries again. Sarala, her ‘new’ mother, is no stranger; but Anupama struggles to accept her. As she deals with grief and loss, the people in her life — her father, her childhood friend, her grandparents and most of all, Sarala — surround her with love and warmth. The coming of a child finally forces Anupama to take an emotional and physical journey in search of herself. A coming of age story, Finding Herself deals with the universal emotions of family, social inclusiveness, courage, patience and acceptance.
