Emily's life is a series of deliberate choices. The decision to study abroad this year is a final step towards the ambitious career she has always envisioned for herself. But even though all her friends and family doubted her chances of success spending months in India, where nothing will go as planned, Emily succeeds quite well in facing every challenge crossing her path... except avoiding that local guy who seems intent on throwing her off course from day one. When they realize they have more in common then they thought, they also discover that cultural differences are hard to overcome. Their love may be written in the stars, but will they stay loyal to their culture or each other?
Based on real experiences, though the characters are fiction.
