A personal memoir of twenty years of marriage, family, grief, and the search for belonging. Rajesh Patil writes openly about the home he carried from India, the life he and his wife built together, and the quiet hurts that shaped their family—parental distance, unanswered hopes for support, bereavement, and the long work of learning what home really means. Written for the people he loves, and for anyone who has tried to belong in a family that does not always know how to welcome them. Includes eleven chapters and a concise glossary of the disappointments that mark the story.
