Half Sugar
By Smita Singh & Vikas Wadhwa
"Some people spend their whole lives chasing sweetness, not knowing that a little is enough."
What happens when a woman who has everything forgets what truly matters? And what if the answer lies in a cup of tea with half the sugar... and a full heart?
In this deeply moving and inspirational memoir, Half Sugar traces the powerful transformation of Hillary Carter, a high-flying corporate executive from inner-city Detroit, whose pursuit of success leads her into a life of luxury, debt, and emotional emptiness-until she hits rock bottom.
From surviving on free school meals to living in a Manhattan penthouse, Hillary's life is a rags-to-riches story-until it all comes crashing down during a global financial meltdown. With her credit cards maxed out, job lost, and identity shattered, she impulsively boards a one-way flight to India, in search of something she cannot name.
There, in the ancient city of Varanasi, among the chaos, colour, and soul-stirring simplicity, Hillary meets Mannu-a shoeless, orphaned boy who laughs at the rain, teaches her Hindi, and shows her the joy of having nothing but love. Through his eyes, Hillary rediscovers her own.
From noisy boardrooms to quiet ashrams, from silk ties to barefoot truths, Hillary begins a spiritual awakening that reshapes her understanding of wealth, purpose, motherhood, and what it means to truly live.
Set between New York and India, this is a heartfelt journey of cross-cultural healing and human connection.
