In the 10th installment of his autobiographical "Continents of Exile" series, Mehta shares his life-changing experience of building a home in Dark Harbor, on the island of Islesboro, Maine. As he describes the typical struggles associated with the architectural process, the blind Indian-born author relates a psychological journey of putting down roots in America while longing for love and family. Having learned to live in Manhattan as if he had sight, he must attempt to navigate his new world in relative silence. Mehta's memoir candidly explores a path to discovery that emerged from a rite of passage.
