In Unmoored, Ramachandran Usha crafts an intimate exploration of migration and belonging. Three women—Ayesha, Indu, and Ameera—return to Chennai from the Gulf, each looking to reunite with the loved ones they left behind. Despite differences in religion, social status and age, they are also united in their quest for a true sense of home. Usha’s novella dwells on the seldom-told yet pervasive story of women who travel to the Middle East and beyond, driven by the need to secure their families’ futures. The protagonists of the two short stories featured in this collection, ‘Khushka’, and ‘Success’, have much in common with the women of Unmoored, even as they grapple with crises of faith and finance.

Do you often feel overwhelmed, and in a daily battle to keep up? That you rarely get on top of your to-do list, and at times feel out of control and unable to cope? If so, you may be experiencing the first signs of Rushing Woman’s Syndrome…
Never before have women been in such a hurry to do so many things and be there for so many people. The pace of modern life has drastically increased – but even though our minds can go faster and technology allows us to get more done, our bodies still have cavewoman-like biology – which means they cannot respond healthily to the new and constant pressures we experience.
In this book, nutritional biochemist Dr Libby Weaver explains how a stressful, fast-paced lifestyle can have dangerous effects on all areas of a woman’s health, including:
• Nervous system – how an imbalanced nervous system may be causing you to gain weight and disrupting your sleep
• Adrenal glands – why adrenal fatigue may be making you feel tired but wired
• Reproductive system – how your daily stresses may be affecting your menstrual cycle or fertility
• Digestive system – why stress could be at the heart of your bloating, cravings or unpredictable appetite
• Emotions – how your emotional landscape holds the key to leading a fulfilling life without the need to rush
Inspired by Dr Libby’s clinical experiences and her empathy for women and the many roles they now juggle, this book offers real solutions to restore your health, so that you can stay both productive and healthy.
USA Today bestseller now in paperback! Noted fashion entrepreneur and former McKinsey and Company consultant Lisa Sun shares the eight strengths that every woman can call upon to be confident and successful.
“Lisa comes across as young and overly enthusiastic at times. She should seek to have more gravitas.”
This is what Lisa Sun’s boss wrote in her first review as a business analyst at the global management consulting firm McKinsey and Company. Sun knew she wasn’t alone in receiving this type of feedback and over the course of the last two decades, she has been on a journey to uncover what it means to be truly confident.
In this thought-provoking and practical guide, Sun, founder of lifestyle brand Gravitas, has cracked the code to help women build their own self-worth on their own terms. By doing so she:
• Debunks the narrow view of confidence society has written for us
• Redefines confidence as an inclusive construct that combines several innate strengths
• Helps you discover your “confidence language” and tap into the source of your self-belief
• Arms you with the tools to flex other strengths so you can shatter your expectations of yourself
Sun shares her own journey of self-discovery and growth and combines it with proprietary research, real-world examples, and anecdotes from other successful women who have championed their own definition of self-worth. Whatever stage of life you’re in, Gravitas offers valuable insights and strategies to help you succeed in any setting. Whether you are a mom, entrepreneur, creative soul, executive, thinker, maker, or doer, Sun will show you how you too can live life with total self-assurance and find your own gravitas.
