Amma showed me her phone with trembling fingers. At seventy-three, she'd joined the network everyone discussed. There, nestled between birthday wishes, was her grandmother's recipe written in Tamil Brahmi script, shared by a cousin in Chennai. She'd never earned money this way.

It was moving forward, carried by hands both young and old, binding our scattered family closer together.
