Award-winning comedian Zarna Garg turns her astonishing life story into a hilarious memoir--from narrowly escaping an arranged marriage and homelessness in India to carving her own path in America and launching a dazzling second act in midlife. nGrowing up in India, everyone called Zarna so American just for reading the newspaper, having deep thoughts, and talking back to anyone over the age of thirty. When Zarnas dad tried to marry her off at age fourteen, Zarna fled--first to the streets of the Mumbai and ultimately to the glittering paradise of Akron, Ohio, where she got to become American for real. n nOn Zarnas very American quest to find herself and her calling, she threw herself whole-heartedly into roles like dog-bite lawyer, crazy perfectionist stay-at-home mom, Indian matchmaker, prize-winning screenwriter, and more. It wasnt until a dare led her to a stand-up comedy open mic that Zarna finally found her spiritual home: getting paid cold hard cash for her big fat mouth. n nAnd as Zarna discovered, after surviving the brutal streets of Mumbai, the cutthroat world of stand-up comedy is nothing. n nThis American Woman is an exuberant story of fighting for your right to determine your own destiny and triumphing beyond what you ever dreamed was possible. And as Zarna always reminds us: If Zarna can do it, you can too.n
