When faced with adversity, human beings can either break, or rise from the ashes. A Handful of Purple Sky is the story of a resilient woman who, despite waking up one morning to the terrible news that she had breast cancer, not only fought her fears and apprehensions, but also the illness, to emerge stronger and more determined in the end. The journey, however, was not an easy one. In the September of 2017, Mridula Bajpai was diagnosed with Stage 2b breast cancer. Before she could comprehend what was unfolding around her, she had to be up and about, getting all kinds of tests done, meeting doctors, trying to understand the challenge life had suddenly thrown her way. In the hustle and bustle that was life, the news of the illness came as a shock. What followed, were months of gruelling cancer treatment. Mridula was left shattered and broken, with the powerful drugs taking a toll on her body – the side effects were many and scary. Mridula believes that the glass of life is always full and never empty. A Handful of Purple Sky traverses the journey called life, when it brings you at a crossroad, and you can only take one quick decision: to fight, fight and fight till you emerge victorious.

Part biography, part tribute, offers a blueprint for a creative life from the perspective of award-winning science-fiction writer and "MacArthur Genius" Octavia E. Butler. It is a collection of ideas about how to look, listen, breathe--how to be in the world. George not only engages the world that shaped Octavia E. Butler, she also explores the very specific processes through which Butler shaped herself--her unique process of self-making. It's about creating a life with what little you have--hand-me-down books, repurposed diaries, journals, stealing time to write in the middle of the night, making a small check stretch--bit by bit by bit. Includes photographs of Butler's ephemera (personal notes, library call slips, etc.) taken by George from hundreds of boxes of Butler's personal items.
