Author's Note
Dear Reader,
Welcome to A Thousand Miles to Home.
This isn't a story about love at first sight.
It's about two strangers from different worlds who are brought together by an arranged marriage—not because they fell in love, but because they chose to take a chance.
This novel is for everyone who believes that love doesn't always arrive with fireworks. Sometimes, it grows quietly through shared meals, awkward conversations, silent support, and the little moments that slowly turn strangers into home.
As you journey with Meher and Aarav—from the vibrant fields of Punjab to the peaceful backwaters of Kerala—I hope you laugh with them, cry with them, and fall in love with their story one page at a time.
Thank you for picking up this book and trusting me with your time.
I hope, by the final page, you'll believe that the longest journey isn't measured in kilometers—it's the journey from two hearts learning to beat as one.
With love,
Shreya(Angel)
