Letters From A Father To His Daughter
In Wind Never Forgets, Veera Raghavan bares his soul in a series of deeply personal letters to his young daughter, Isha. Written during his darkest hour—a night he planned to end his life—this book is a raw, unfiltered journey through pain, betrayal, and the fragile hope that kept him alive.
Why This Book Will Shatter and Heal You:
A Father’s Desperation and Redemption – Veera’s letters capture the agony of financial ruin, broken trust, and the suffocating weight of failure. But it’s his daughter’s innocent grip on his finger that becomes his lifeline.
Generational Echoes of Struggle – From his father’s quiet sacrifices to his grandmother’s unyielding resilience, Veera weaves a tapestry of family history, showing how love and survival are passed down through blood and tears.
A Love Letter to Survival – This isn’t just a memoir—it’s a promise. A vow to stay, to fight, and to leave behind something real for the child who saved him
