A daughter questions her relationship with her father on his deathbed. Taking a closer look at some of his challenges and his attitude towards them, provides her with greater clarity and a deeper appreciation of her dad. She realises how a homogenous family in a small village in Kerela could have evolved through three generations into a diverse global network of family and friends. There are compelling anecdotes of openness and inclusion from his immigrant life that are inspirational.
This memoir is a celebration of a simple man who was extraordinary in many ways. It is a call to discover the heroes we encounter everyday.

Hello everyone,
I am very pleased to inform you that eleven publishers have expressed interest in publishing 'Dad and I'. For this, I have you to thank for a successful crowdfunding campaign!
I have been corresponding with the eleven publishers in the past month to learn more about their Publishing Models before signing a contract. I have also been doing some research on these publishing companies and reading some reviews by authors who had worked with them to get a sense of the quality of the editorial care provided. It isn't easy making a decision but I have narrowed it down to three traditional and hybrid publishers.
I am currently working closely with the Head of Publishing at Publishizer who will be querying editors from reputable publishing houses on my behalf. I have, to date, received one contract which looks very promising. Once I hear from the other two publishers, I have shortlisted, I will make my final decision.
I beg your patience in this matter, and would like you to know that I am working hard at putting an inspiring book, both in design and substance, in your good hands.
The next time we speak, I hope to be able to inform you of the publisher I have signed a contract with.
Till then, keep well and get in touch with your creative side in whatever little way you can. It makes a big difference to living...
Lots of love
Shalini
