An autobiographical saga of loneliness, abandonment, courage, determination ....... Those traumatized teenage years on the sudden demise of one of the parents & how the other struggles due to the myths, pressures & cultures of the society to fulfill her child’s dream & her promise. Achievement of a career-oriented goal in life & quest to the next phase of life ahead ..... I thank GOD ALMIGHTY for all that I have. I have made peace with my past. I am a practicing Obstetrician & Gynaecologist, absolutely content in my field. I am an active writer, thanks to my guiding force (You know who YOU are) on Facebook & Instagram @pearl_salutaris
