"Asha lives in the foothills of the Himalayas in rural India , on the family farm with her mother. Money is tight and she misses her papa who works in the city. When he suddenly stops sending his wages, a ruthless moneylender ransacks their home and her mother talks of leaving. From her den in the mango tree, Asha makes a pact with her best friend, Jeevan, to find her father and make things right.

And yet, Asha has the unshakeable sense that the spirit bird of her grandmother - her nanijee - will be watching over her as they journey to the city, to find her father and save her home"--OCLC.
