About Times of Clouds and Sun:

Dr. Maya Simmons, a recent PhD graduate in Epidemiology is still mourning the death of her father. While going through his personal papers she discovers a dark secret from her parents’ past. Her quest for the truth her leads her to a Tibetan refugee camp in India, where her “mother” Maggie Hunter, is hiding out from Interpol for her suspected role in a bombing incident during the Vietnam War conflict. Compelled to track down her estranged mother, Maya disguises her true identity and secures a volunteer job at the refugee camp. With the help of a Tibetan lama, Maya confronts her long-suppressed feelings of abandonment and her fear of accepting Maggie into her life. Ironically, just as they begin their journey of reconciliation, Maya finds herself at the center of having to solve a deadly epidemic threatening refugees and her own mother’s life.
