The Things We Carry Home

For anyone who has loved too late, left too soon, or believes it isn't too late to begin again.

Avdhi thought distance would save her. From grief. From memory. From the mother she could not forgive. But when loss brings her back to Shimla, she finds that the past has not disappeared. It has only waited - in familiar rooms, unfinished conversations, and the quiet ache of a house that remembers everything.

What follows is not a story of easy forgiveness, but of learning to look again: at a mother who was more human than Avdhi allowed her to be, at a daughter who mistook anger for protection, and at the love that survived even in silence.

From bestselling author Savi Sharma comes a luminous, uplifting novel about loss, healing and finally coming home to yourself.
