We are thrilled to share that our next great read is The New York Times bestseller, The Henna Artist by Alka Joshi! 

Set in India in the 1950s, the savvy and independent Lakshmi is a “miracle worker,” henna artist, and herbalist. However, her hard-earned success becomes threatened when an estranged family member shows up unexpectedly. Don’t miss out on reading this “uplifting tale that highlights the power of family!” (Library Journal).
