He crossed an ocean for a two-year research position. Then the world shut down.
March 2020. Arjun Sharma lands in Boston with two suitcases, a folder of immigration documents, and his mother's handwritten list of phone numbers tucked inside his passport. He is twenty-nine, the son of a tailor from South Delhi, the first in his family to earn a doctorate. He has prepared for everything.
March 2020. Arjun Sharma lands in Boston with two suitcases, a folder of immigration documents, and his mother's handwritten list of phone numbers tucked inside his passport. He is twenty-nine, the son of a tailor from South Delhi, the first in his family to earn a doctorate. He has prepared for everything.
He has not prepared for what comes next.
Within weeks, the city locks down. His lab goes quiet. His funding collapses. Ten thousand miles away, his father is fighting for breath in a Delhi hospital where the oxygen is running out. His visa is counting down. One more rejection and he goes home with nothing.
Then, in a slow elevator on Chestnut Street, a stranger looks up from her phone and asks the question no one in America is supposed to ask.
Bad day?
Her name is Rania. She is an infection control specialist who has spent the pandemic watching people die. She is sharp, exhausted, kind in ways he does not expect. And she is about to change everything.
What Arjun builds in the years that follow is nothing he could have imagined on the plane.
A breakthrough in cancer research that could rewrite how doctors treat the disease. A grant that arrives five days before deportation. A wedding. A green card. A child on the way. And the slow, hard-won discovery that home is not the place you left, and not the place you landed. It is something you build, day by day, out of whatever the world gives you.
Between Continents is a sweeping, deeply human debut about love, loss, science, and survival in the years that broke the world open.
A story for anyone who has started over. For anyone who has loved across a distance. For anyone who has ever wondered whether staying was worth it.
It is. And this is how.
