Almost Whole is a fusion of the reel and real, and the readers will certainly meet themselves in the some part of the book. The author interned at a nonprofit for a period of three months. As an intern, she taught women inmates in the jail English, mathematics, and Hindi. The place inspired her to write a story about that world. Even though the book is a work of fiction, certain conversations with the women inmates, conditions in the jail, and cases mentioned in the book are real and have been blended with an imaginative touch. The story is about a girl from London who visits her grandmother's birthplace, India, for several reasons. However, she finds herself in the jail of India almost as soon as her holiday begins. This free-spirited girl who loves travel and life finds herself in an unusual place in the jail when she realizes her life will never be the same again. She meets a little girl named Kali who completes her and makes her feel whole. The forty days she spends in the jail are to change her life forever. The story is about Ayanna's emotional journey on her way to discovering her wholeness.
