Reviews"I knew This American Woman would be hilarious, because, well, Zarna is the funniest person I know. But I didn't know it would also be the touching story of a brilliant and brave woman who defied all odds to make it in America. Her memoir will inspire you, make you cry, and laugh so hard it hurts." --Mindy Kaling "Zarna Garg is proof that the funniest voices come from the realest places. Her memoir is a powerhouse--funny, raw, and unputdownable. It's a must-read for anyone who's ever dreamed big or never been roasted by an Indian auntie." --Lilly Singh, comedian and author of How to Be a Bawse, "I knew This American Woman would be hilarious, because, well, Zarna is the funniest person I know.

A star is a star. You don't discover stars; you just help them. I can't wait for the world to read your book." --Kevin Hart "A laugh-out-loud, heartwarming story of one woman's quest to survive and find independence. Zarna Garg went from being a stay-at-home immigrant mom to the first immigrant-mom comedian. She will make you feel that anything is possible." --Padma Lakshmi

SynopsisNEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - Award-winning comedian Zarna Garg turns her astonishing life story into a hilarious memoir, spilling all the chai on her wild ride from escaping an arranged marriage and homelessness in India to carving her own path in America and launching a dazzling second act in midlife. Don't miss Zarna Garg's new standup special, Practical People Win, now streaming on Hulu! "A deeply honest and hilarious book about how you always win if you bet on yourself."--Amy Poehler Throughout Zarna's whole childhood in India, everyone called her "so American" just for reading the newspaper, having deep thoughts, and talking back to anyone over the age of thirty. When Zarna's dad tried to marry her off at age fourteen, Zarna fled--first to the streets of Mumbai and ultimately to the glittering paradise of Akron, Ohio, where she got to become American for real. On Zarna's very American quest to find herself and her calling, she threw herself wholeheartedly into roles like dog-bite lawyer, crazy perfectionist stay-at-home mom, Indian matchmaker, prizewinning screenwriter, and more. It wasn't until a dare led her to a stand-up comedy open mic that Zarna finally found her spiritual home: getting paid cold hard cash for her big fat mouth. And as Zarna discovered, after surviving the brutal streets of Mumbai, the cutthroat world of stand-up comedy is nothing. This American Woman is an exuberant story of fighting for your right to determine your own destiny and triumphing beyond what you ever dreamed was possible. Zarna's mantra becomes a call to action: It's never too late.
