A thoughtful and revealing memoir from one of the world's most
recognizable women, renowned for her bold risk-taking,
multiculturalism, and activism.
"I am a product of traditional India and its ancient wisdom, and modern India and
its urban bustle. My upbringing was always an amalgamation of the two Indias,
and, just as much, of East and West." Unfinished takes readers from Priyanka's
childhood in India, where she was raised by her grandparents and her parentstwo
army doctors committed not only to their children but to their careers and to
philanthropy-before being sent away to boarding school at an early age; through
her formative teenage years in the U.S. living with extended family in the
Midwest (Cedar Rapids and Indianapolis), Queens, and suburban Boston, where
she endured bouts of racism; to her return to India, where she unexpectedly won
the national and global beauty pageants (Miss India and Miss World) that
launched her acting career. Readers looking for a glimpse into what it takes to
succeed in the massive Indian film industry will find it here, and they'll also find
an honest account of the challenges Priyanka faced navigating her career, both
in India and Hollywood. The result is a book that is warm, funny, sassy,
inspiring, bold, and rebellious. Just like Priyanka herself.
From her dual-continent twenty-year-long career as an actor and producer to her
work as a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, from losing her beloved father to
cancer to marrying Nick Jonas, Priyanka Chopra Jonas's story will inspire a
generation around the world to gather their courage, embrace their ambition, and
commit to the hard work of following their dreams.
