Exploring the themes of loss, identity, and cultural heritage, the memoir takes readers through Sorayya Khan's journey across seven cities and three continents following her mother's death. It reflects on her Pakistani-Dutch upbringing, from her childhood in Lahore to her experiences in post-9/11 America, and the complexities of raising her sons while grappling with her family's history. Through personal anecdotes and broader geopolitical insights, Khan reveals how cities shape our identities and the enduring power of love amidst change.
