love-bd”“Liked the book a lot. Sripathi lives in South India and is a non typical Bhramin who has been raised in a tradition steeped household. His daughter Priya and her Canadian husband die in a car accident leaving their daughter behind. The story portrays how all in the household deal with the death and the new life that they have to live for. Very real and true book with touches of humor. ”

“Did not have a lot of hopes for this book; found it in the clearance section of a bargain book store. A gentle book, with a gentle message. You don't have to do extremely daring things to become a hero. When an ordinary man, finds his way out of some seemingly unsurmountable circumstances, he walks the "The Hero's Walk."”
