GONE AND UNGONE

Some people leave our lives. Their choices do not. After the deaths of Indu and Arjun, their daughter Ruhi inherits more than a family home. She inherits a promise. For decades, Arjun had kept the house because of a commitment he made to Indu. Before his death, however, he leaves the next decision to Ruhi. Keep it. Rent it. Sell it. On the surface, it is only a question about a house. It soon becomes something much larger. How long should the wishes of those we love continue to shape the lives of those who remain? Ruhi, her husband Karan, her son Rohan and her granddaughter Tara each see the answer differently. The house holds memories. But it also requires money, time and responsibility. Keeping it may honour the past. Letting it go may allow the future to begin. And somewhere between the two lies a question most families eventually face: When someone we love is gone, does loving them mean continuing their choices-or finally trusting ourselves to make our own? GONE AND UNGONE is the fourth novel in The Choices We Make Series , following ONLY ONE , NOT FOR LOVE , and ONE TRUTH . It can also be read as a standalone story. For readers who enjoy thoughtful family fiction about relationships, responsibility, memory and the difficult choices ordinary people make.
