Not all heroes wear capes.
Some wear faded shirts, carry silent burdens, and walk home on tired feet.
The Backbone is a moving tale of fatherhood, sacrifice, and the invisible strength that holds families together. It is a fictional story but one stitched with threads of truth, inspired by the quiet heroism of Dr. Chandra Bhushan Thakur, a man who lived not for himself, but for those he loved.
Through tender memories and heart-wrenching realizations, this book reminds us of the unspoken sacrifices fathers make the meals they skip, the miles they walk, the dreams they postpone all so their children can stand tall.
This is not just the story of one father.
It is the story of every father.
For every reader who has ever wondered how much their father carried in silence...
For every child who discovered, too late, the price of their comfort...
The Backbone is both a tribute and a reminder:
Homes are not built on bricks and cement.
They are built on love, sacrifice, and the unshakable spine of a man who never lets his family fall.
