Amma's handwriting trembled as she transcribed the Tamil poet's verses into her notebook. Four hundred thirty-two days of copying Subramania Bharati's words had transformed her grief into purpose. After losing Papa, she'd discovered solace in his immortal lines about courage and devotion. Her grandchildren watched, confused at first, but gradually understood.

Through ancient words and modern means, she wove family bonds stronger than time itself.
