This memoir documents my odyssey of exploring the emotional and psychological toll of grappling with invisible illnesses and discovers reservoirs of strength in unexpected places.
Sundari’s journey began in India, where she excelled academically, ultimately earning a Ph.D. in cytogenetics. Yet, this promising start was only the beginning of a tumultuous journey. After moving to the U.S., Sundari was thrust into a world of physical and emotional challenges. She endured two grueling spinal surgeries and correction of scoliosis, each procedure fraught with fear and uncertainty. Despite these efforts, relentless pain from shoulder bone degeneration soon followed, searing through her body and shattering her once-stable life.
