Second Book - Coming Soon

Non- Fiction

This book is about self-worth. It

It explores how value is learned, borrowed, lost, and negotiated. How people begin to measure themselves through productivity, validation, or survival rather than inherent dignity.

​

This book is written for those who function well but feel expendable. For those who have learned to minimize themselves without realizing it.

Book Reviews

‘Mother Mary Comes to Me’ by Arundhati Roy

1_gFDMHFkE5JfMHz2eo9iK3Q_2x.webp

I’ve often heard the saying, “Don’t meet your idols.” But Arundhati Roy’s memoir proves the opposite. Reading her book didn’t just reinforce my admiration for her words, it made me fall in love with the woman behind them. Years ago, I was a wide-eyed girl, underlining her sentences and dreaming that one day I, too, could write words that carried such weight. Today, as a writer myself, holding her memoir in my hands feels like holding the very voice that once made me dream of becoming a writer.

Some books don’t just tell a story; they reach into your soul, touch the deepest corners of your heart, and reshape the way you see life. Tuesdays with Morrie is one of those rare treasures. It stays in your mind and heart long after you’ve turned the last page.

The Book That Made Me Better: Quiet by Susan Cain

This book didn’t just inform me. It healed me. It educated me.

​

Page by page, I felt seen. Understood. Validated. For the first time, someone was saying out loud all the things I had felt deep in my bones, but no one had ever told me were okay to feel.
