The Good Indian Girl: Breaking Barriers, Bridging Generations is a raw, funny, and deeply personal memoir about growing up in a traditional South Indian home—and finding your voice in a world that preferred you silent.
Neetha Naidu was raised to be the ideal daughter: respectful, obedient, marriage-ready. But behind the well-behaved exterior was a girl battling anxiety, insecurity, and the weight of expectations. From strict parenting and cultural pressures to arranged marriage, immigration, motherhood, divorce, and starting over in midlife—Neetha shares her story with honesty, humor, and heart.
This is a book for every generation: For Gen X women raised on silence and sacrifice. For Millennials balancing cultural identity and modern choices. And for Gen Z breaking cycles and asking bigger questions.
If you’ve ever felt caught between who you are and who you were told to be—this memoir will speak to you.
It’s not just about being a “good girl.” It’s about becoming a whole woman.
