Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Shankar wanted a son, and was ashamed of wanting it. Then the doctor says the words that will follow his family for the next twenty years: there is a cleft. Lavender follows Babita from that hospital corridor in Himachal Pradesh through a childhood built, imperfectly, by two parents learning as they go. A father who mistakes protection for control more than once before he learns the difference. A mother who discovers that fear dressed up as care is still fear. Babita grows up watched a beat too long in school yards and family gatherings, and grows, too, a private, exacting eye for color and pattern that no one, least of all Babita herself, recognizes as the beginning of anything. It takes a hostel mirror, a hallmate's burn scar, and a woman named Neelam who wants only one thing, the choice of when people notice it, for that eye to become a company. What Babita builds is not a promise to disappear. It's the opposite: a business built on the conviction that a face doesn't need fixing to deserve a say in how it's seen, a conviction tested hardest when the money on the table asks her to sell fear instead. Spanning a Himachal childhood to a Chandigarh startup, Lavender is a family story before it's a business story: about parents who get it wrong before they get it right, a daughter who has to leave home to understand what home actually gave her, and a company named, quietly, for a field of imperfect purple flowers that only look flawless from far away. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. …
