Mom, Across the Miles is a moving tribute to the quiet strength of motherhood, written with tenderness, reflection, and deep emotional honesty. Vivek Sinha beautifully captures what so many of us feel but often struggle to express — the complex, enduring bond between a mother and son, stretched across years and continents.

What touched me most is the book’s humility. It doesn’t shout; it resonates. And through its pages, we’re reminded that true gratitude lies not in grand gestures, but in small moments of understanding, care, and reflection.

As someone who has long believed in leading with empathy and honoring personal roots, I found this memoir deeply meaningful. Vivek’s storytelling is as graceful as it is grounded — a quality that makes this book a heartfelt read for anyone navigating family, migration, or the emotional distance success sometimes brings.

I hope many discover this quiet gem. It’s a timely reminder that no matter how far we travel, some bonds travel with us — always.

Mom, Across the Miles is a powerful meditation on love, loss, and legacy. As a Hindu, I found Vivek Sinha’s reflections especially relatable — the references to the seven forms of the mother from the Bhagavata Purana, the dharmic values, and the interweaving of cultural identity with personal growth struck a deep chord. This book is a gift to anyone reflecting on their own relationship with a parent or the enduring influence of a mother’s quiet strength. A moving blend of heart and philosophy that lingers long after the last page.
