About the book

When on a journey of life, we lose the certain moments we love, they stay with us as memories. These memories then become stories.

The only thing getting her through the guilt of taking the trip against her father’s wishes is the beautiful sunset in the hills and the echoes of her heartfelt conversations with Arjun. As she uncovers some secrets of her mother’s life from the diary throughout the trip, she struggles against the fate decided for her and dares to hope for something more out of her life and with Arjun. But when her father’s constant demands to come back home threaten to cut her trip short, Saanchi must make a choice. Will she go back to her restrictive life or take a chance at living life on her terms?
