Novel The Chrysalis Now Also In Print
United States, December 15, 2014 (Newswire.com) - The Chrysalis, a moving novel about twenty-something Indian girl navigating her life between the pressures of an arranged marriage and her own dreams, was originally published in digital form in 2013.
“As a writer, you always dream about physically holding your book or seeing it resting on a bookshelf, so I knew that publishing my novel as an eBook was only part of my goal. And surprisingly, I quickly learned that despite the prevalence of eBook readers like the Kindle, a lot of people still prefer a traditional print book,” explained Bindu. “I had so many friends who were waiting on the print version before wanting to buy and read it, so while my eBook came out a while ago, having it in print makes it feel like new all over again.”
Bindu Adai is Inspirational, Romance and Young-Adult novel writer. She is the author of a novel, 'The Chrysalis', and a personal memoir, '38 Candles'. She graduated Summa Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Science degree and double majors in English and Mass Media, and later pursued a Master's degree in English. Bindu works and lives in South Florida. Additional information on Bindu and her books is available at www.binduadai.com. Bindu's novel The Chrysalis can be found on Amazon and Barnes & Noble.

Besides being re-edited, the print version of The Chrysalis also includes reading group discussion questions, as well as a sneak preview of Bindu’s next novel, which will be titled ‘Almost Paradise: Book 1 of The Garden of Eden’.
“It’s more than just a story about an Indian girl trying to get married… it’s actually more about how our life can take unexpected detours, but that journey is what ultimately leads us to our destination and forms us into the person we were meant to be. It is truly a story about family, love, friendship and ultimately, about life itself,” said Bindu.
This novel covers a topic a lot of people can relate to, regardless of their culture, because, according to Bindu, most people, especially women, face pressures to be coupled up and married. The pressures can often come from meddling family members and well-intentioned friends, resulting in mismatched, contrived, comical setups and blind dates.
