Anju and the Cat Named Mothra: Book One

Years after the events of Sameera's Kitchen, 19-year-old Anju McClellan moves into her mother's old apartment in New York City-an aspiring mangaka who thinks she's had a hard life. Then she meets Ahdia Malik, a quiet young woman trapped in an abusive family willing to consign her to a fate worse than death.

Ahdia thinks she hears the call when Anju wanders through her world-but is it a call to adventure, or a siren song? Ahdia wonders whether fate is showing her a way out, or cruelly dangling a promise of a new life that she can never have.

While Ahdia ponders and Anju wanders, little do they know that time is running out.

Thrust together, they'll need more than luck to avoid falling into the clutches of Cristian Vasilescu.
