This week Keena and Sara celebrate Asian American Heritage Month with The Namesake by Jhumpa Lahiri. 

The Namesake follows the life of Gogal Ganguli as he maneuvers the intricate balance of coming to terms with cultural identity and feeling innately different. The story is important to both Keena and Sara, with Jhumpa Lahiri's writing displaying poetic language while representing the ups and downs of being a second generation American.
