About the Book

In the wake of the September 11 tragedy, Kumar, a prince from Kedargadh in India, arrives in New York City. His grandfather, Kedarnath, had moved to the United States years before, establishing a very prosperous business empire and settling into an office across from the World Trade Center. Now Kedarnath is missing, and Kumar must find him. To complicate matters, Kumar has only recently learned from one of his father’s hidden diaries that the woman who raised him is not in fact his biological mother. It seems he was born to an American woman who died shortly after his birth. Along with his grandfather, Kumar sets out to find his biological mother’s family. He decides to go by Kane in in the States, hoping that the Americanized name will open more doors. He also encounters Anita, a reporter from the New York Times with dreams of meeting a real-life prince. She assists Kane in his search, and the two grow closer—but their time will soon be cut short in an unexpected way. Romantic and suspenseful, this screenplay follows an Indian prince as he searches New York City for his grandfather, his mother’s family, and a love that will last.
