Dear Reader,

When I opened Dr. Bombay's Underwater Tea Shop in Atlanta little did I know my path would lead me to help underprivileged girls in Darjeeling, India. Now I also operate The Learning Tea, a non-profit — started by selling tea and cupcakes — that offers scholarships to these girls who were "aging out" of their Buddhist orphanage, bound for futures on the street.

In TIGER HEART, you'll come with me through the streets of Mumbai to tiny villages with roadside tea huts to the Himalayans and you'll meet the girls of Darjeeling. Who knew this former art student turned roller derby queen (Tekillya Sunrise) would be here to tell you this story?

I hope you enjoy it and please write to my publicist at kimw@hcibooks.com for a chance to receive one of 5 free copies.
