Behind The Face

 "I came to know Toranj through the production of a documentary detailing the life of her late daughter, Rowena. I was lucky enough to get to know Rowena through her loved ones, and the impact of her legacy has had a profound effect on me. From conversations with Rowena's friends, I learnt that her family was extremely important to her - and she held the opinions of her parents in the highest regard. 'Behind the Face' makes it easy to understand why. Toranj's story is one of incredible strength, resilience, and selflessness - always underpinned by love and loyalty. This book beautifully illustrates the mosaic of her life by exploring all the contrasting pieces of dark and light that are so important to the full picture. Thank you, Toranj, for a thought-provoking and deeply moving read."

"In this book Toranj allows the reader insight into her journey from wondering why her life included so much suffering and why she was being punished-to the realization that not everything is happening to you and into the knowing that things are always happening for you.

With this new awareness, along with the loving support of her cousin, she was able to move from bitter to joyful. Toranj then went on to develop a connection with her daughter-although no longer in physical form, Rowi is very much a part of her everyday life which includes 'out of the blue' magical surprises.

This is a powerful story of her awakening and transformation."
