In This American Woman: A One-in-a-Billion Memoir, comedian, writer, and viral sensation Zarna Garg tells her extraordinary true story — of fleeing an arranged marriage in India, immigrating to the U.S., and breaking every rule to pursue an impossible dream: becoming a stand-up comic… as a middle-aged Indian mom.
