Beautiful Ashes

 My Rating-5/5

Publishing Date-April 2022

Thanks to Netgalley for providing me the Advanced Review Copy of this gut wrenching but inspiring memoir.

While reading this book,many times I was astonished by the courage of the author to have gone through such intense trauma throughout her childhood and still trying to move past it.I cannot imagine how she relieved everything to write this book.

 This book reinstates the fact that however dark the night maybe ,there is always light at the end of the tunnel and that in the midst of complete darkness, a sliver of hope is enough for us to hold on to life for a little longer.

 As this book begins during the era of the 70's,it is clear that in that era the society despised divorcees due to which women were compelled to withstand so many familial issues and not utter a word.

 This book is a clear testament of the fact that with grit, determination and unfaltering faith in God,a  person can actually rise from its own ashes having lost every possible thing.

 It is very rightly said that relationships are not formed by blood but emotionally and by being with each other through thick and thin. 

  This book is definitely not for the faint hearted as the author life story is full of instances where her suffering starts to affect your mental health as it includes every possible triggers including suicide and drugs.

While reading this book ,I felt  as if I know the author closely and wished God to have mercy on her.
