About the Book: Assam-born scientist turned storyteller, Prerona Boruah writes between experiments and evening chai. She writes to braid her Assamese roots with a life lived far from home. Her stories draw on the quiet grit of girls who find their voice, the mentorship she offers students from the Northeast, and the comfort of recipes saved for homesick days. Her debut, Did Not Quite Go With the Wind, springs from real journeys; mentoring, migration, and making a home, offering a tender, courageous reminder to choose yourself.
