Gold Diggers by Sanjena Sathian
An Indian American teen in suburban Atlanta stumbles onto a secret alchemy practiced by his neighbor’s family: a potion brewed from stolen gold that grants borrowed ambition and memories. Drawn into the scheme to boost his prospects, he grapples with guilt, desire, and the pressures of the model-minority myth. Years later in Silicon Valley and Mumbai, a reunion and escalating cons force him to confront the moral cost of success and the stories communities tell about the American Dream. Blending coming-of-age, satire, and magical realism, it explores identity, immigration, and the glittering lure of wealth.
