I Married a Coconut

About this book

As a first-generation Indian American, Priti Tanna navigated the challenging interplay of traditional Indian values and the modern American lifestyle, seeking her place of belonging. Balancing the weight of generational expectations, she pursued the "trifecta" of a stellar education, an ideal Indian partner, and early motherhood.

When a supposed astrological mishap led to Priti symbolically marrying a coconut to remedy her struggles to find love, she embarked on a journey of self-discovery that launched her from her comfort zone and revealed her own needs and desires.

I Married a Coconut intertwines Priti's transformative quest, resonating with immigrant parents guiding their children's future, individuals challenging societal norms, and those seeking a profound understanding of themselves. By recounting her own experiences, Priti sets ablaze a vivid symphony of motivation and authentic self-revelation, a poignant reminder that the power to forge an extraordinary path resides within the core of our being.
