My Connie by Pradeep K. Berry

In My Connie, Pradeep Berry celebrates his and his wife’s love. A love that could never have happened if he hadn’t left his home in India for the United States. With only seven dollars in his pocket at the time, he couldn’t have dreamed of meeting a beautiful, intelligent, American woman. Let alone making her his wife.

The author’s family embraced Connie as soon as they realized she was polite, smart, and self-made. In short order, she became the star of the family.

Berry lovingly describes Connie’s qualities, character, and ethics as well as her professional career. He observes that even though he’s been in tremendous pain since she died, he would have never had such a long and happy marriage if he and Connie had not loved each other so much.

-Pacific Book Review-
“Mr. Berry’s writing about his shared life with Connie is very thorough. He provides details which help the reader really know who they were and why their marriage was so happy. He also intersperses a smattering of wisdom from those like Nelson Mandela, Mahatma Gandhi and various Indian spiritual leaders, attempting to find a way forward after his tragic loss. The ups of Mr. Berry’s life with Connie always outweighed the downs, until that fateful day of her death when his whole world came to an abrupt end. The strength of this book is not about her death, but about her life seen through the eyes of one devoted husband. It’s a tribute well-worth reading.”
-US Review of Books-
“Though the author shows caring and courage. He is obviously a man profoundly bereaved who has so far been unable to rebuild a life alone. He quotes from many sources to support his feelings about Connie: Indian thinkers Gandhi and Chanakya and Westerners Einstein and Ruskin. He lists small items that still remind him of Connie such as her clothing, diary, and make-up kit. He speaks of reluctance to use the shower they had made for her when she became an invalid. Some readers, wonder how they would react in similar circumstances. A paean to lost love…”
-Blue Ink Review-
Bereavement and rancor are some of Berry’s themes. “The main problem with me is that Connie did not die of natural causes—her life was snatched away by these doctors.” He frequently mentions “medical negligence” without specifics. His bitterness extends to family members and friends who he believes failed him and Connie in various ways. He also ponders love, immortality and God, cites spiritual texts and names Connie’s many virtues.
