Most of us have had moments where we thought: ‘Why, God? Why me?’

At the age of twenty, when she was just settling into a happy married life, Charu Malik was diagnosedwith muscular dystrophy, a debilitating and life-threatening disease. Within a few years, she was ina wheelchair. But then something special happened: the birth of her son, Alok, who became herreason to live and be happy.

Over the next two decades, Charu’s life turned upside down again. She wondered, ‘Why would God be so cruel as to take my son away?’

Wings of Courage is a true story of how unforgiving life can be. The things we take for granted—whether being able to lift a finger or breathe normally—are no longer available to Charu. Howdoes someone who has been bedridden for more than a decade stop blaming God for the repeatedinjustices dealt to her and find the courage to move on?

You should meet her, dear reader. Even today, she has a perpetual smile on her face. If you can’tmeet Charu, then journey with her as she chronicles her life in this book. She accepts God’s will butrefuses to surrender to her illness. She instead reserves her every assisted breath to help whoevercrosses her path through her charitable trust.

Her life is a beacon for those who give up at the slightest inconvenience and teaches everyone tofight for this blessing called LIFE.
