Hands To Hold, Hearts To Keep

Description

This book is a quiet unfolding of love in its truest form—not the grand gestures, but the unnoticed ones. It is about the kind that stays— through silence, through distance, through the quiet imbalance of giving more than you receive.

At its core, this collection follows a woman learning to exist within love without losing herself—navigating tenderness, effort, and the fragile strength of staying.

With a voice that is Unfiltered and tender, Astha Pratik has written Hands to Hold, Hearts to Keep as an ultimate potrail of love in its most honest form—imperfect, enduring, and quietly enough.

About The Author

Astha Pratik has been writing since she first learned to hold a pen—giving shape to her emotions long before she understood the language of poetry.

Rooted in Bihar and deeply influenced by love, motherhood, and the quiet intricacies of human connection, her voice carries an understated honesty that lingers.

Though she has written extensively over the years, this debut collection marks her first step into the world as an author—an intimate unveiling of her inner landscape, where each poem holds a fragment of her lived experience.

Her words are not just written; they are felt—echoing the kind of love we hold, the kind we lose, and the kind we learn to become.
