I met this amazing woman when she attended her NLP Practitioner program and was inspired by her. She gave 100% in developing her skills and was totally going for it. During one of the breaks she shared with me that she was trying to write her life story. So I suggested she stop ‘trying’ and just do it. When only a couple of months later Latika asked me to read her book I was honoured and intrigued. I am a curious person curious of people and enjoy stories and metaphors… and what a treat this book is! I couldn’t put it down…

I wonder why you have picked up this book. Fate? Destiny? Boredom? Curiosity? Have you ever stopped and wondered how life is different for other people compared to your own experience of it? Imagine what it would be like to grow up in a different country, in a different culture and lifestyle to anything you know? This book is an Indian woman’s adventure.

This is the life story of a woman who learns the lessons of life. Some of them the hard way and others in wonderful moments of clarity. Her childhood installs her beliefs and as she grows into an adult, wife and mother she seeks to learn who she really is.

As an Expat, working and living in a foreign country, is it common to wonder about the differences of people? Deep down we are the same. Only our experiences are different. Ultimately we all have the same issues. Our story just becomes how we package it. As Latika shares her journey you can identify with your own learnings.

Latika has a great style of writing. I love her use of language, great metaphors and at times I really felt as if I was there with her, enjoying the ups and downs of her adventure. Other than those must have bathroom breaks and making a cup of coffee, I was totally captured. I could relate to more than I thought possible. After I had finished I stopped and thought about who I was being. Who am I really? What is it that I am searching for that I already have? What more will complete me? And of course – I found some answers of my own.

So as you read this book, prepare to be intrigued. You will find more of you than you think.

And if you choose to not continue, then you will be left wondering.

I am a coach. My job is to hear other people’s stories about how their life isn’t perfect yet. I assist them in taking action to get the life they want and deserve. I was recently talking to a book coach (or book midwife as she likes to be known as). She believes that there is a book in everyone. That got me wondering… what is my story? This author has shown me the possibility. And I wonder what yours is?
