Some stories arrive quietly, yet stay with you long after the last page is turned. And Then He Was Ours!, the debut book by Chitra Suresh, is one such human-interest narrative — born from a real-life moment of loss and shaped by everything that followed. What begins as the disappearance of a rescued Indie puppy unfolds into a deeply reflective account of love, uncertainty, and the quiet resilience that emerges when hope has no clear timeline. Told with sensitivity and restraint, the book invites readers into an emotional space where care continues even when answers are incomplete.
The puppy did return, but the return did not erase what came before it. Instead, it revealed how deeply love settles into the body, how questions linger even after relief arrives, and how care continues long after the immediate crisis passes. The book captures this aftermath with quiet clarity, focusing less on resolution and more on reflection.
As the search stretched on, strangers began to appear. Some paused their routines to look twice. Some searched after dark. Some offered reassurance without promises. None of these acts were dramatic, yet each carried weight. The narrative gradually expands to include these moments of unannounced kindness, showing how collective care forms in the absence of recognition or reward.
Drawing from her diverse professional background across multiple industries and roles, Chitra Suresh brings a deep understanding of people, resilience, and everyday compassion to her writing. This book marks a deliberate and personal turn in her work, grounded not in authority or expertise, but in lived experience and emotional truth.
And Then He Was Ours! is now available for readers who gravitate towards real-life stories rooted in empathy and lived experience. The book can be purchased online via major e-commerce platforms and select bookstores, making it accessible to those seeking reflective, human-centred storytelling.
More than a pet memoir, it is a gentle yet powerful exploration of love that refuses to disengage — a read that resonates with anyone who has waited, hoped, and continued to care in the face of uncertainty.
