Intro. Zeba stood in her kitchen in Naperville, Illinois, staring at a bag of frozen okra. In Lahore, the sabzi wala would have arrived at her doorstep with a cart piled high with vibrant greens, shouting his prices into the morning air. Here, the only sound was the low hum of the dishwasher and the occasional whistle of the wind against the double-paned glass. ​Living in America felt like living in a beautifully designed vacuum. Everything was clean, efficient, and strangely quiet
