She has a good job, a loving husband and daughter, and a carefully planned life. Then, one snow-choked winter day, she discovers a tiny lump in her right breast. \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eWhat follows is a journey she never expected to take: doctor's visits, tests, the shock of diagnosis, surgery, chemotherapy, radiation. Her body changes. Her moods change. Her husband retreats into a silence she cannot reach, her daughter grows distant in the demands of her medical studies, and even friends who once couldn't do without her now appear to be keeping their distance. Ashwini's thoughts spiral in directions she cannot always control as fear, anger, denial, loneliness, imaginary friends and dark humour take turns shaping her empty days. \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eSet against the cold landscapes of Canada and the quiet routines of immigrant life, \u003ci\u003e Snowed Under\u003c\/i\u003e captures the emotional reality of living with cancer-the waiting, the medical procedures, the stigma that surrounds the illness and the strain it places on the closest relationships.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eFirst published as \u003ci\u003eManjil Oruval\u003c\/i\u003e, this is not just a story about disease, but about the mind under pressure, the body under siege, and the complicated-some¬times fragile-will to live.
