Join author Neeva Pradhan as she discusses and signs her book The Best of Both Worlds: A Pioneer's Perspective on Straddling East and West.
This book details the challenges of holding on to one’s roots while adapting to life in a new country, and the attempts to bridge the gap between two starkly different cultures.
In a thoughtful and compelling narrative, Neeva Pradhan relays the story of her upbringing in Nepal, the challenges she encountered upon arriving in the U.S. as a student, and the crucial questions she confronted as she raised a family in her adopted homeland. Full of humor as well as myriad perspectives on the immigrant experience, Pradhan offers keen insight into the art of balancing the values with which she was raised and the attitudes of the country to which she immigrated. Capturing the best of both worlds is an ongoing adventure that consists of great challenge yet also profound fulfillment.
