She captures the beauty of strong family bonds and the guidance of a nurturing father while not shying away from the pain of childhood abuse, health struggles, and personal loss. The heart of this book lies in her raw and powerful storytelling of motherhood.
Against a diagnosis of PCOS and medical predictions, she miraculously gives birth to Marcus after a near-fatal pregnancy. Later, when Marcus is diagnosed with autism, Meena channels every ounce of her strength into advocating and caring for him, crafting an unbreakable bond that becomes her greatest source of purpose.
