A Saga of Pain & Resilience
Reeba Thomas’ story narrates an inspiring tale of Shaurya, a boy who begins life as an orphan and is adopted by a mother who loves him with all her heart and soul. Though his father never accepts him, Shaurya constantly longs for his love and approval. His mother becomes his world—his cheerleader, motivator, and unwavering believer.
Labeled “Zero” and always finishing last, Shaurya carries within him a fire to prove himself—not only to gain his father’s pride but also to honor his mother’s faith in him. Against all odds, he transforms into the fastest runner in his state, achieving greatness through grit, resilience, and love.
What makes this story unforgettable is Reeba’s writing. I read the book in a single sitting, with tears streaming down my face. She is an exceptionally empathetic storyteller, capturing every nuance of Shaurya’s pain, longing, and desire to shine. Her words are simple yet powerful, infused with deep emotion that makes the reader not just understand but feel his journey.
This is more than a story of a boy chasing victory—it is a testament to the power of a mother’s love and to the human spirit. It reminds us that love gives wings to dreams, strength to endure struggles, and the courage to become the best version of ourselves. I recommend this book highly to all children to value love in family and for parents to understand the fear of abandonment in children and know the power of empathy at the right moment!
