The Light Lands Here is Sanjay’s powerful tribute to his heroic mother—but also the incredible back story to what shaped him and his immigrant family. His mother Rani (Damyanti) Gupta survived the largest forced human migration in history, lived as a refugee in India and went on to become the first woman engineer ever hired at the Ford Motor Company. Through vivid scene setting, Sanjay takes readers on a journey through her unbelievable life, into the bloody partition of the Indian subcontinent, and into places where she was often the first and only woman. As he flees, Sanjay’s grandfather swaps the keys of his home with a Muslim man fleeing in the opposite direction; Sanjay’s mom finds her husband by dialing the wrong number from a Michigan phone booth; she drives to Detroit alone and talks her way into an engineering job and automotive history.
Sanjay worked on this book in secret for five years, traveling the world and interviewing everyone he could find to produce a searing picture of a family that was pushed out of their homes in a bloody civil uprising and whose daughter made a treacherous and improbable journey to America only to prevail for 35 years.
This is a book about what it means to design a life after chaos. It asks how a five-year-old refugee remakes herself in a world that has tried to erase her. And it follows what that original rupture does to a family two generations later, in Sanjay’s quiet childhood Michigan house and then in the noisy, hopeful home he makes for his family. Ultimately, it is a story about how to overcome the worst and, most of all, how to learn to be happy when all you know is how to survive.
