Through the perspective of a contemporary teen living in a conservative world, learning to love, to hate, the meaning of regret and the reason behind life, "An Ode to You" describes a girl battling herself in order to gain an understanding of herself and who she is and her place in the world.
"I used to ask my father 'What does it mean to be peaceful?' and he would always say 'it's to be content' so I look at myself in the mirror, I look at all my flaws and scars, I see not only my past but my future and I ask myself 'Are you content?'"
"An Ode to You" is not only a story but it's a journey and a fight, to live life with no regrets, to love who you are and how you were born, and to be content, it is an ode to you.

Muskan - Reality Behind the Smile
Although my book is intended mainly for the enlightenments of how girls still face oppression, exploitation and discrimination due to their gender in spite of the fact that this being the 21st century. From this biography, I hope you as a reader get a better understanding of how women deal with their circumstances even today. This book attempts to empower one in the perspective towards why society should change. As an Editor, this is my first ever book edit, and although this was my best experience as a book editor. This book shows so many realities and truths of life, If a person can think to fight with the world he/she just needs the support of their loved one and very few got that in their life this kind of love and support. This book is all about love and the compromise of love.Complete
