How to Salsa in a Sari

Dona Sarkar was born in Kathmandu and moved to Detroit, Michigan at a young age. She spent her college days scribbling stories about Indian vampires converting innocent bystanders to Hinduism instead of taking notes during Computer Science class. After doing the standard South Asian thing of getting a ‘real’ job Dona began taking writing classes found her true voice in young adult stories. How to Salsa in a Sari is her first novel.

Issa Mazumder, a nerdy half Indian, half African teenage girl who lives in the US with her single mother, has just been utterly destroyed because the gorgeous Cat Morena, Latina princess, Issa''s worst enemy and the most popular girl in school, has stolen Issa''s equally nerdy boyfriend Adam. And there''s worse to come – Issa''s mother announces that she and Cat''s father are getting married. And they are moving into Cat''s huge mansion.

Cat has no respect for Issa''s traditions and makes Issa''s life hell. But Issa gets some tough advice: if she wants Cat Morena to welcome her traditions, Issa had better learn to salsa in a sari!
