Neela has a hard time reconciling her East Indian heritage with her life in America; playing the veena, a traditional Indian stringed instrument, is one way she does so. When the veena mysteriously disappears, Neela is desperate to find it, traveling as far as India to solve the mystery. The story engagingly addresses cultural differences and musical aspirations while providing a compelling mystery.
