Maya Shanbhag Lang was born in Queens, New York to Indian immigrant parents. She is the author of WHAT WE CARRY (Random House, 2020), a memoir, and THE SIXTEENTH OF JUNE (Scribner, 2014), a novel. Winner of the 2017 Neil Shepard Prize in Fiction, she. I loved reading Maya Shanbhag Lang’s exquisite memoir, What We Carry. She writes about her relationship with her mother with searing honesty and extreme tenderness. The unveiling of family secrets is done with such perfect precision and pacing, that it's hard not to feel like you're on the path of discovery with the author.
