About the Book
If there is no light at the end of the tunnel, then you have not yet reached it.
What If You Tried To Heal? attempts to explore, through 11 short stories, the aftermath of tragedy and how it can grip an individual. Yet, the pain is not something that lasts forever. As the stories progress, one walks down the path of healing and learns that the pain can also produce a bittersweet joy and appreciation for what we have, and accept what we have lost.
"One of Shreya's defining characteristics as a writer is her uncanny ability to build characters that breathe. She doesn't just create personas; she breathes life into them, making readers feel as if they're walking beside her characters through the trials and tribulations of their lives. "Shreya's stories are an invitation to explore the depths of human emotion, to ponder life's mysteries, and to celebrate the beauty of the written word. They are a reminder that great literature knows no boundaries of age, and talent knows no limits."
— Devika Narain, International Wedding Designer and Event Stylist
"An artist struggling with personal loss makes a discovery that helps her renew her fading brush strokes. A man channels his loss and pain into purpose and a support group for other veterans. A woman deals with a sibling’s loss by continuing her diary. This delightful collection of parables, stories of loss and learning, pain and healing, will make you think and wonder about the things that really matter."
— Prasanto K Roy, Technology writer and speaker, policy consultant, green evangelist, former editor
and publisher, and managing director at a NYSE-listed global advisory firm
