I had to fight for my existence before I was even out of my mother's womb.
If I didn't stop fighting then, why would I stop now?

What Will People Say follows a South Asian woman's journey through being a daughter, and later a daughter-in-law, within the strict confines of her patriarchal family. Readers watch as the narrator navigates life, trying to find a safe place for herself, until she finally becomes her own hero.

Grappling with the subjects of sexual and psychological trauma, as well as mental health, this collection of poetry carves a path beyond the guilt of wondering: What will people say?
