Unravelling

The stories we tell ourselves and others are very often not true... To the outside world, Bhanu seems to have a perfect life: a beautiful home and a wonderful husband and family... No one knows that each superficial layer has been carefully constructed to hide the dark secrets of her past and to bury the utter disappointment that what was written in the stars did not come to pass. Then, on the eve of her fortieth wedding anniversary and vow renewal ceremony, a chance encounter shatters Bhanu's pretence, when a face from her past reappears. Deep, her first love who was etched into her heart, the man who lingered in her dreams throughout her married life, reappears, asking her to abandon everything for a second chance at love. Forced to confront the consequences of choices made long ago, Bhanu begins to unravel as her life is thrust into chaos. But by reaching for a different future, can she heal the wounds of her past? An extraordinary story about the complex tapestry that makes up a woman's life and how facing the truth can change everything...
