More Than a Million Worth

<p>LOVE which is often seen as overrated is real for author Pradeep Berry. His love and dedication to his wife are deeply rooted unfathomable as what you will witness in this memoir.</p><p><br></p><p>With just seven dollars on hand never in his wildest dreams did Pradeep Berry expect to meet a beautiful intelligent wife in America. His family embraced Connie when they realized she was polite smart and self-made. She became the star of the family. Berry lovingly describes Connie's qualities character ethics as well as her professional career. He observes that even though he's been in tremendous pain since she died he would have never had such a long and happy marriage if he and Connie had not loved each other so much. Connie and Pradeep both considered themselves as two bodies and one soul and he hopes they will again be two bodies and one soul in the next life.</p><p><br></p><p>Reviews for the previous edition:</p><p><br></p><p>A debut author pays tribute to his deceased wife in this memoir. The prose style is sometimes stilted and other times histrionic. However it occasionally achieves moments of quiet lyricism as a result it doesn't have much to teach readers about how to get over a loss. Rather it's a raw document of the middle of grief and all the emotions that come with it. An emotional elegy that's somewhat undisciplined in style.</p><p>- Kirkus Reviews</p><p><br></p><p>When a loved one dies the grief can be overwhelming. For some survivors this grief manifests in all different manners of behaviors in an effort to keep the memory of that lost loved one alive. For Mr. Berry in the aftermath of the death of his beloved wife of 41 years it manifested in him writing this loving tribute My Connie.</p><p>- Pacific Book Review</p><p><br></p><p>In 2015 author Pradeep Berry lost his wife of 41 years. His new memoir however isn't an account of moving through grief to healing; rather it's a repository of his pain. Like a personal journal its entries reflect his roller-coaster emotional state recurrent thoughts about his wife's death and grief-stricken lamentations.</p><p>- BlueInk Review</p><p><br></p><p>My Connie is a heartfelt if repetitive account of a husband's grief.</p><p>- Foreword Reviews</p>
