For those of you who know my Mom, she is rarely at a lack for words.
Well, she has managed to corral many thousands of them into an extraordinary book about life, love, business, and art. I have watched in awe as she has refined her story over the past several years, undaunted by the process and steadfastly determined.
Indefatigable.
Together with her friend and talented collaborator/editor (Lavanya), she has produced something truly memorable and moving. I encourage you to pick up a copy. It is a story about relationships and perseverance, and about a singular garden with exquisite photos in accompaniment.
Available at Amazon (your reviews are encouraged)

Way to go Gayatri! The book is excellent — a recommended read for everyone. Highly entertaining and heartwarming. Congratulations to you and Lavanya.
