Description:

Tilo runs a small Indian spice shop in Oakland, California. But she is no ordinary shopkeeper. She is a Mistress of Spices, trained on a magical island to use the secret powers of spices like turmeric, cinnamon and fenugreek. Quietly, she helps her customers, who are mostly Indian immigrants facing loneliness, family troubles and life in a new land. But Tilo must follow strict rules: never leave the shop, never touch anyone, and never want anything for herself. When she falls in love with a stranger, she must choose between her magic and her heart.
