A son shattered by the loss of his father, followed by the shocking news of his mother's diagnosis, Jithin Nair was violently stripped of the right to mourn. The sudden, agonizing silence of his father's death was immediately consumed by the deafening call to war against a new enemy: his mother, Jaya's, devastating cancer diagnosis.

Jithin's personal sorrow had to be walled off, replaced by the fierce, cold instinct to fight. He was thrust from a grieving son into a reluctant caregiver, forced to navigate the sterile, terrifying world of malignancy while grappling with a profound, unhealed trauma.

This is a searingly honest and visceral memoir of marching through terror while desperately clutching the last threads of hope. It is the story of a mother who refuses to yield and a son who learns that true courage is not the absence of fear, but the willingness to anchor a family against the deluge.

If you have ever been broken by loss or endured the silent, screaming wars of the heart, this book will speak to the deepest core of your being.
