2019 Week 52 Update

Namaskara from the Silicon Valley of India, Bengaluru! We arrived here early yesterday after a hectic three days in Tamil Nadu visiting temples. It’s been a day of constant chatting, especially for my mum as she reunited with her mother and sister.

We have some family visiting planned for today and tomorrow before we fly back to Mumbai late evening!

Our India trip is slowly coming to an end and I have mixed feelings about this. On one hand, I am happy to go back home, to my bed and work and on the other hand, I want to stay longer with my parents. Ah well, that’s life!

Have a great Sunday and an awesome week.

In My Hands Today…

The Impersonator – Mary Miley

In 1917, Jessie Carr, fourteen years old and sole heiress to her family’s vast fortune, disappeared without a trace. Now, years later, her uncle Oliver Beckett thinks he’s found her: a young actress in a vaudeville playhouse is a dead ringer for his missing niece. But when Oliver confronts the girl, he learns he’s wrong. Orphaned young, Leah’s been acting since she was a toddler.

Oliver, never one to miss an opportunity, makes a proposition—with his coaching, Leah can impersonate Jessie, claim the fortune, and split it with him. The role of a lifetime, he says. A one-way ticket to Sing Sing, she hears. But when she’s let go from her job, Oliver’s offer looks a lot more appealing. Leah agrees to the con, but secretly promises herself to try and find out what happened to the real Jessie. There’s only one problem: Leah’s act won’t fool the one person who knows the truth about Jessie’s disappearance.

After the death of his mother, Michael Keddington finds employment at the Arcadia nursing home where he befriends Esther, a reclusive but beautiful elderly woman who lives in mourning for her youth and lost love.

Michael faces his own challenges when he loses his greatest love, Faye. When Michael is falsely accused of abusing one of the Arcadia’s residents, he learns important lessons about faith and forgiveness from Ester – and her gift to him of a locket, once symbolic of one person’s missed opportunities, becomes another’s second chance.
