About this ebook
Children of Indian descent often move to the United States in search of a better life. Other Indian children, born in America, are often materially successful, but they lose touch with the values of traditional Indian culture, including a deep love and respect for parents and gratitude for the parents loving sacrifices to aid them on their lifes path.
In Mother of a Millionaire, author Raoji (Ray) M. Patel provides insight into the issues, both Indian children and their parents face, as they make their home in a new country with different customs and ways of living through eleven short stories. In some stories, a spouses selfishness creates a rift within the family. In a few cases, the sons rebel against the parents interfering ways, and they grow apart from their parents, or they simply banish the parents from their lives. In other stories, a father slips from his patriarchal responsibilities, creating family discord and a loss of respect.
This collection of short stories shows how Indian parents strongly believe forgivenessone of the most difficult challenges to facemakes one happier and healthier and frees one from sin. But as an ancient Indian scripture says, forgiveness is the greatness of the great because it creates unprecedented greatness in the forgiver.
