He lived a simple, honest, straightforward, contented life, and he handled complex and tough situations in a way that made them seem simple and easy.
Culled from two decades of her formative years, the stories narrate conversations between Sheela and Appa. As she reflects on each incident, she also relates how they shaped her responses to lifes many challenges and curve balls.
