Avantika grew up watching the women in her family serve in silence and the men command without question. She swore her life would be different - that she would do the right thing. But what is right when with every choice you always lose something? When freedom feels like loneliness, and obedience feels like defeat? Her Idea of Right follows Avantika's journey from a rebellious daughter to a woman balancing career, marriage, motherhood, and invisible expectations - still searching for herself in a world that demands she be everything at once.

Just one glance was enough to spark a new sudden interest in finding out who she was. Later he would find out her name was Brooke and that she was rather different than those around her. She was mysterious, shy, and whether she knew it or not she was the most beautiful person he had ever known. But he would soon find out that getting involved in her life may have been a grave mistake.

We were sixteen when we promised to never grow apart. Now we are twenty-five, living three different lives, carrying three different kinds of loneliness. One wants marriage to begin living. One has a family but longs for silence. One chased her dream and lost her home along the way. This is a story about three girls who grew up- just not in the way the world expected them to.
