What if only kind of knowing your family’s heritage is actually kind of lame? For Mindy Kaling, the number one bestselling author of Why Not Me?, the search for an answer begins with an Edible Arrangement of chocolate-covered strawberries and a Hindu priest.

Like Kelly Kapoor on The Office, Mindy is engaged with her Indian heritage to the extent that it is fun and convenient. So apart from a tolerance for spicy foods and an appreciation for Ravi Shankar, Mindy isn’t all that Hindu. Her daughter’s Jewish godfather--TV and film’s B.J. Novak--prompts her to reconsider her religious beliefs and ask herself: How Indian do I want my daughter to be?

From the acclaimed writer, actor, director, producer, and New York Times bestselling author comes Nothing Like I Imagined. In these essays, Mindy Kaling shares the latest chapters of a multitasking life in Hollywood. Listen to them in a single sitting. They’re pitch-perfect.

I am a French immigrant in the USA and I am having a daughter. I have been feeling like I want my daughter to learn French and eat the sort of French diet I have been trying to keep and all these things that are slightly different (mostly related to food) that I do and my American husband don’t.
This story is it. I want my daughter to feel a sense of belonging to France, like I do.
Thank you ❤️

A sweet little story about faith and connection. But Mindy, when are you going to realize you will eventually have no say over what religion Kit ends up being - if she adopts any faith at all?

This was too cute and expressed my feelings EXACTLY! Audiobooks have not been my favorite choice of reading a book because they make me sleeping. Very enjoyable!

Her voice!

I really liked this one because I think it details an issue many of us with immigrant parents struggle to deal with when we have kids of our own.
