James Bradley was a hard-charging, business first, successful Washington lobbyist giving his family everything; except the one thing which mattered the most. Emily, his daughter, thought she had the whole world in her hands on an iPhone. Her mom, Asha, enjoyed the high-profile society life of a DC wife and lacked for nothing until Covid took it all away with her death, leaving James and Emily with an emptiness to fill.

Mourning the loss of her mother and now completely estranged from her father, Emily is unwillingly brought to India, Asha’s homeland, as James attempts to connect Emily with her family roots. But the gift of a book, Disruptive Compassion, and a chance encounter with an impoverished little girl not only reveals a secret about Emily’s mother but also brings Emily to a spiritual discovery, changing her and her father’s lives forever.
