Ashmita's Story

This novel is based on a true story. Ashmita, a 57-year-old beautiful woman, has lived a life of quiet suffering, her soul worn down by the relentless verbal abuse of her husband, Garry. Once a man she loved, Garry has become a stranger to her-his words sharp and cutting, filled with jealousy, possessiveness, and cruelty. His temper, unpredictable and fierce, controls every interaction, leaving Ashmita isolated and mentally drained. He degrades her, mocks her family, and twists his own insecurities into toxic control. As years pass, Ashmita has quietly endured, convinced that peace comes through silence, that love should be unconditional-even at the expense of her own dignity. But when the verbal abuse becomes too much to bear, and the weight of her family's suffering presses down on her, Ashmita is forced to confront a painful truth: she deserves more. The cycle of abuse must end-but can she find the strength to stand up for herself and those she loves?
