Leesburg, VA — July 18, 2025 — Second-generation Indian-American author Bhavna Bhatia Roszel invites readers to a special live book reading and signing event for her powerful fiction debut, The “I” in Indian, on Friday, August 30 at 9:30 a.m. at SimplyBe Coffee Shop in Leesburg, VA.
Held in cozy, welcoming space of SimplyBe Coffee, the event will feature Roszel reading selected passages from the book, sharing the inspiration behind her writing, and connecting with readers for an intimate Q&A and book signing.
The “I” in Indian is a heartfelt, laugh-out-loud novel that follows Aria Kapoor, a smart, sarcastic 32-year-old woman navigating the tension between traditional Indian values and modern
independence. Caught between cultural expectations and personal truth, Aria hides her past—even from the man who just might be her future.
Roszel’s debut explores:
● The conflict between tradition and independence
● The stigma of divorce in Indian culture
● First-generation struggles with identity and duality
● The power of self-love and rewriting your own story
With humor, heart, and hard-earned wisdom, the “I” in Indian resonates with readers of all backgrounds—especially those who have ever felt caught between two worlds. Books will be available for purchase at the event, and pre-orders are open now in paperback and eBook formats at [Insert Retailer/Website Link].
