She was told to be a patient wife. She chose instead to be a brave mother.
Married at fourteen, Lakshmi was raised to believe sacrifice was a woman's duty and silence her only armour. But when her husband's decisions begin to endanger the future of her children, she faces an impossible choice: remain quiet and survive, or find the strength to disobey.
Spanning decades from a small village in Kerala to the bustling streets of Mumbai, The Lives She Carried is a moving portrait of a woman determined to break generations of uncomplaining silence for herself and for the daughters who follow.
Rooted in history and culture, this is a stirring story of love, loss, resilience, and a mother's quiet rebellion.
A tale not inherited, but reclaimed.
