Synopsis: Unaccustomed Earth is a story of people who have left their home land (India) and immigrated to U.S. The Indian born parents are struggling with problems in raising their kids in America. The parents, who are isolated by their difficulties in language and costumes, want the American dreams for their children; however they are cautious about the kids’ freedom. The children, who don’t belong to either the Indian or American culture, do not accept the culture and rituals of the home and are not fully accustomed to the American rituals either. This book explores the emotional complexity of the characters. There are five unconnected stories in part one. These five stories share only themes; the characters and settings are independent of one another. The second part has three connected stories.
