Clients Testimonial
This book is an emotional experience of a journey between two cultures. The story by V.C. Patel reminded me of my father who traveled to the United States and the United States after leaving India. His ideas about identity, family, and education are most poignant and brilliantly depicted.
Ayesha RI found this memoir very inspirational. It is possible to gain a lesson of persevering and being determined in what one considers to do as a lesson of Patel who was determined to stay with his students and his ability to adapt to the new country without losing his cultural identity.
Michael TIt was like sitting down with a wise elder to read this book." Patel's portrayal of his country upbringing and the principles he upheld during his teaching career is both inspiring and sentimental.
