Publisher's Synopsis
Introduction
We don't always walk the paths we planned. Sometimes, life reroutes us through heartbreak, loss, longing, and unexpected miracles. These are the divine detours-the sacred side roads that lead us not where we expected, but exactly where we needed to go.
Divine Voicemail: A Journey in Stories and Prayer is a tapestry of memory, healing, and hope. It weaves together stories from my life-growing up in post-partition India, navigating family, pain, joy, rebellion, love, and becoming-and pairs them with prayers written for the everyday soul.
This book was born from real moments: the chaos of childhood, the tenderness of caregiving, the loneliness of becoming, the faith that carried me forward when nothing else could. It is a memoir and a mirror-my story, and perhaps in parts, yours too.
Whether you're navigating your own detour, searching for meaning, or simply longing for stillness in the noise, may this book be a companion. May its pages remind you that you are never alone. That love whispers even in the darkest corners. And that prayer-spoken or silent-is the thread that ties us to grace.
This is not a book you need to read in one sitting. You may wander through its chapters. You may return to a prayer when your heart aches. You may dog-ear a story that feels like home. However you arrive, I hope you feel held here.
With all my heart,
Sandy Lamba
