After eleven months of writing, rewriting, and more early mornings than I care to count, The Eleventh Kilometer is finally finished. I would be delighted to have you and your family join us for the launch.

📅 Saturday, October 17
🕒 3:00–5:00 p.m.
📍 Carmel Clay Public Library

The afternoon will include readings from a few passages, a conversation and Q&A, book signing, and refreshments.

The memoir begins with my father’s daily eleven-kilometer walk to school in rural Telangana and follows what that journey set in motion across three generations. It is a story about family, migration, faith, resilience, and the lifelong search for belonging.
