She has a BA from Brandeis University in economics and sociology and an MA from Stanford University in communication. Her undergraduate thesis dealt with the socio-economics of rape in India. She is the author of two novels as well as children’s books and short stories. She lives in New York with her family. Her book, What We Talk About When We Talk About Rape, was published by Myriad in October 2018.
“What We Talk About When We Talk About Rape is a heart-wrenching, honest portrayal of what it means to be a survivor of gender-based violence….A must-read for anyone who believes in the fundamental, equal rights of women.” Angana Narula, cofounder of The JFA Human Rights Journal
