An Athlete. A Therapist. A Murder. A Medal.
Siana Singh can run fast; she is just slow in discovering where she belongs, wedged between her traditional Punjabi family and her western beliefs. She clashes with her father on everything from ripped pants to life goals until she can no more.
Dr. Silverstone is a therapist whose primary purpose has been one of being an exemplary mother. But her daughter is dead, and her son is behind bars. She understands loss well and is eager to help her patient Siana. Everything changes when the doctor discovers the hideous truth that connects her to Siana.
House of Milk and Cheese is the poignant yet heartwarming story of a young woman whose pursuit of overcoming her demons makes for a nail-biting drama as she realizes . . .
To seek redemption is to pursue the impossible dream.
Reviews
Praise for House of Milk and Cheese
“Mars D. Gill brings to attention the dynamics of racism and the process of grief and hatred that haunts the decisions her characters are faced with in the aftermath of a tragedy that many can relate to in our current state. Her characters speak with shocking sincerity as to what drives a person to negatively impact not only the victims of hate crimes and their families but also their own loved ones that they leave behind in their choices. House of Milk and Cheese will stay in your mind as the narrative of our times for many immigrant families and their tumultuous journey in finding their own success within American landscape.”–Navraaz Basati, Writer, Documentarian, Previous Creative Director at Prima Films and Radio Producer for Vocalo, Chicago Public Radio.
