No Gods to Curse

"What is real?"

When she sees her loved one go through inexplicable and surreal emotional upheavals that threaten to tear the family apart, she starts on a path of tragic discovery that changes her life instead. Carrying her burdens, walking a path untravelled before, and with few resources in sight, will she find the point where love ends, and responsibility begins? Mirroring the struggles of the caregiver and the afflicted, the characters raise interesting questions that society still needs to tackle.

"...a warm story written in the undocumented wilderness of paranoia. The story begins when reality is understood. A layperson's introduction to the subject of mental illnesses and state of care seen through a philosophical lens..."

"...a small doubt becomes a drop of lemon to a glass of milk. Milk breaks. This doubt, misinterpretation of what one sees or hears about the spouse's behaviour or paranoid illness (suspicion with no reason) can lead to severe discord..." - Dr. C.R. Chandrashekar
