Handful of Dreams Felt from a distance, Susan and David’s attraction to each other was powerful, but will their stubborn prejudices solidify their loathing, or give way to their passion?

Susan Anderson has despised David Lane ever since their first meeting. He enraged her with his verbal barbs and cold contempt; he had no idea who she was or what her true relationship had been with his father, Peter, who left her his Maine beach house.

David assumed Susan was a vulture, preying on his old man for his wealth. And Susan was in no mood to defend herself against the charges of such a pigheaded man.

But when a severe storm strands them alone in the beach house, David and Susan’s mutual dislike for each other—and their fierce attraction to each other—is brought to a head.

Pival Sengupta has done something she never expected: she has booked a trip with the First Class India USA Destination Vacation Tour Company. But unlike other upper-class Indians on a foreign holiday, the recently widowed Pival is not interested in sightseeing. She is traveling thousands of miles from Kolkata to New York on a cross-country journey to California, where she hopes to uncover the truth about her beloved son, Rahi.

A year ago Rahi devastated his very traditional parents when he told them he was gay. Then, Pival’s husband, Ram, told her that their son had died suddenly—heartbreaking news she still refuses to accept. Now, with Ram gone, she is going to America to find Rahi, alive and whole or dead and gone, and come to terms with her own life.

Arriving in New York, the tour proves to be more complicated than anticipated. Planned by the company’s indefatigable owner, Ronnie Munshi—a hard-working immigrant and entrepreneur hungry for his own taste of the American dream—it is a work of haphazard improvisation. Pival’s guide is the company’s new hire, the guileless and wonderfully resourceful Satya, who has been in America for one year—and has never actually left the five boroughs. For modesty’s sake Pival and Satya will be accompanied by Rebecca Elliot, an aspiring young actress. Eager for a paying gig, she’s along for the ride, because how hard can a two-week "working" vacation traveling across America be?
