In The
Unexpected Son, it is a morning like any other in
suburban New Jersey when Vinita Patil opens the battered
envelope postmarked "Mumbai." But the letter inside turns
her comfortable world upside down. It tells Vinita an
impossible story: she has a grown son in India whose life
may depend on her.
Once upon a time, a naive young college girl fell for a
wealthy boy whose primary interests were cricket and
womanizing. Vinita knew, even then, that a secret affair
with a man whose language and values were different from her
own was a mistake. He finished with her soon enough--leaving
her to birth a baby that was stillborn, or so Vinita was told.
Now, that child is a grown man in desperate need. To help
her son, to know him, Vinita must revisit her darkest hours
by returning to her battle-scarred homeland--and pray for
the faith of the family she leaves behind.
