A story of redemption and righting the wrongs of the past, Keya Das’s Second Act is a warmly drawn homage to family, creativity, and second chances. A discovered box in the attic leads one Bengali American family in the New Jersey suburbs down a path toward understanding the importance of family, even when splintered after a tragedy. This debut novel is both poignant and, at times, a surprising hilarious testament to the unexpected ways we build family and find love, old and new.
