Because God Was Listening.

Description

This book is, at its core, an attempt to step into the mind and heart of a Indian middle-class eldest daughter—someone who learns early to carry more than others, speak less than she wants to, and love more than she receives. She grew up as the eldest daughter in a middle-class Indian home, carrying responsibilities she never asked for, hiding traumas no one wanted to see, and burying guilt she never deserved to feel. Between societal expectations, family pressure, and a past that left scars deeper than anyone knew, she learned to survive quietly. To stay strong. To stay silent. To choose everyone else before herself. Her only refuge was her Kanha. Her only comfort was the way she whispered everything to Him at the end of each exhausting day. And then one day…God listened. Life didn’t suddenly become perfect. Challenges still came, battles still broke her, and the world still demanded more than she had. But something shifted. Love walked in. Courage returned. Hope found its way back. And for the first time, she began to believe she deserved softness too. Because God Was Listening is a tender story of an Indian middle-class girl learning to heal, learning to rise, and learning—slowly, bravely—to finally choose herself.
