is an Indian transplant. She's trying to fit in eight grade and is doing
OK. Her friends come over and she's getting comfortable with boys. She
had come to love American pizza. When her traditional grandparents arrive,
things change. Her mother gives up jeans and pizza and starts wearing saris
and making curries. Sunita starts hiding her grandparents and her aloofness
from her friends is misinterpreted. Her relationships with her friends
begin to deteriorate. The grandfather's wisdom helps her see how she can
get out of the predicament she has created and see a sweet resolution of
ethnic pride. |
