I was slightly surprised by how the author actually expressed her political opinion so explicitly which all of us probably harbors within ourselves but never out rightly say it. Its almost like someone is actually speaking on behalf of you. I enjoyed this book not only because I completely identify with her plight: An Indian American, living her life in today's America with so much political uncertainty catering to people of color specifically, and being in a cross-raced marriage and raising a cross-raced kid. 

This book is beyond all of the above factors I stated. Its about educating the next generation who might or might not have some or all of the above features, to treat a fellow person just on the context of being a human and not based on race. class, culture, political opinion. One's skin's melanin concentration should not deter them from being a citizen of this country which I believe is much beyond this petty factor. This country has opportunities for people who actually want to be independent thinkers and not care about how the world see them. This is not just the author's memoir, I believe any person of color currently living in US would think someone is actually speaking their deepest concerns loud and out.

The graphic art is one of my favorite. It uses NY skyline, and real city photographs in the backdrop and uses the graphic figure of the characters alone. It's simplistic but not inadequate. I recommend this book a must read for 2019.
