Description
Told through linked poems, this evocative coming-of-age story follows Paro, a spirited girl growing up in the shadow of Partition and her family’s painful history. As she moves from childhood into adolescence and adulthood, she confronts love, fear, desire, identity, and the difficult work of becoming whole. Woven with Hindu mythology, cultural memory, and vivid imagery, the book explores the tension between human vulnerability and inner divinity. Intimate and lyrical, it is a powerful meditation on resilience, self-discovery, heritage, and the transformative strength of finding one’s own voice.
