Description: "In front of a house in India, 16-year-old Tina learns the ancient art of kolam from her grandmother, the creation of elaborate patterns with rice powder, in preparation for her marriage to a man she has never met. In front of a house in Canada, Tina's cousin Tommy, sits in a tree, trying to make sense of his heritage. As the stories of Tina and Tommy become more intertwined, a pattern of quiet rebellion and enduring love between generations and cultures emerges."--BOOK JACKET.
