Uma Girish’s Losing Amma, Finding Home is a heart-rending narrative of losing a parent, living through the pain and transforming it to discover one’s true calling and life’s purpose.
Uma moves to Chicago with her husband, 14-year-year-old daughter and her dreams firmly in tow in the spring of 2008.
Within four weeks, her 68-year-old mother in India is diagnosed with cancer and eight months later, she passes away. Her death plunges Uma into despair but awakens a sudden clarity within her that ‘there has to be more to life than this.’
She starts seeking answers to questions that matter — Who am I? Why am I here? What am I meant to do with this life?
Interweaving two cultures through a textured narrative, Uma uncovers the truth of her inner journey as she transforms — one event, one person at a time.
