Her diverse experiences remind us that it is life’s simplest moments that shape us. From the joy of feasting on freshly plucked mangoes, visiting friends, and enjoying long bus rides, to the pain of mourning a grandparent, saying goodbye to school friends or losing a job, Shantha brings to vivid life ordinary yet unforgettable events.
And from her life’s unique experiences, readers will find common ground – love for family and friends, desire for significance and living worthy lives. On this shared ground they will walk with the author through the streets of her memory. Things We Remember is at once a simple and special book whose stories and message will linger long after you turn the last page.
