She enjoyed seeing snippets of Sunil’s life – flashes of him going out with friends, cooking, working out. “I decided I wanted to book a trip to come to India and meet my friend,” she recalls.

She and Josh worry about women in rural areas, or poor women, or young, single mothers in states like Texas.
