We are not our circumstances and neither is Moyna. Despite being thrown at a man made dungeon where people indulge in flesh trade Moyna is determined and courageous to change her life. She is hopeful. Life gives her a second chance when she is rescued from the murky lanes and finds a family for shelter, trying to make the most of what life has given her. But life awaits new surprises. As she chases her dream to become an entrepreneur, she meets Aryan. Will two broken person be able to mend each other's heart and fill up the void?

Couple of years ago I read 'Till We Meet Again' by the author. This book has the same characters continuing their stories. While 'Till We Meets Again' is an introduction to Aryan's life, this book revolves around characters who plays important role in defining Aryan. This is a beautifully, poignant tale of Moyna where life has much more to offer her. A domestic fiction that weaves a wonderful tale of love, dreams, trauma and resilience. The notable thing about this book is reading the first book is not needed to understand the second book. Plots are arranged methodically. Moyna being the main protagonist has been sketched by the author wonderfully, but there are other characters who has a lot to offer. Rajdeep's character is remarkably sad.

The story flows with the simple writing style. It invokes hope in your heart. I do feel the starting was a bit shaky, so much was happening but it took pace quickly. Overall a good read.

‘A Heart Full Of Hope’ is a journey of despair to optimism. The main character in this book Moyna is girl who has been rescued from red-light area by a family. This opened new doors for her and, hence took her a new journey with a different identity. But no road is meant to be peaceful. There will be problems and tragedies. Fighting with them finding a way out of it might be a way of living life. So, if you want to read the life of Moyna and what changes her new identity bought then you should definitely read this book.

I love the story of this book. Because similar to the title this book definitely gives you a hopeful heart. The incidents that were included in this book were nothing imaginary but are situations that can happen with anyone. Sexual assault, human trafficking are rising issues in this nation yet little or no awareness is there regarding solving these issues. In this book Moyna went through mental trauma due to the circumstances that she faced in her life. Her bonding with a special character in this book was also beautifully written who too had his own shares of struggles.

Highlighting different problems through a story that has been written very lucidly and in an engaging way the author did a good job. I would definitely say that this was definitely a satisfying read.

Life is not easy but it takes everyone in a desired path. Some becomes devils, some stays victims, and other struggles to become strong and rise up.
That struggle and the hope you have, makes the universe to show you a second chance.

This book is about second chance, hopes, and struggle to rise well. The cruelty has dragged our protagonist into a living hell in a very young age but it was her hopes or the will to live again that led her to a second chance of a life to live with dignity.
But struggle after that was not easy, read this book to explore the journey of Moyna that will give you so many emotions like joy, pain, rage, dejection, and most importantly hopefulness.

I'm so happy that I got to read this book as it has all my heart. The topic is very sensitive and author has justified well. From bookcover to the writing style, I'm so into this book. Plot is amazing with enough twists and turn.
Overall an amazing pick.

I highly recommend it to everyone.

The roads do not appear as you walk. Someone else has already paved the path for you. The destiny is walking ahead....

This is my second book from this author. The first was was an enjoyable one. The plot revolves around Moyna a young girl of 17, who is trafficked into prostitution. Life gives her a second chance when she is rescued and adopted by a social worker Suchitra Devi. Starting her new journey as Ahana, she tries to pick up the chords of her life, when she meets Aryan who boosts her confidence level by helping her believe in herself. Will she be able to overcome the trauma of her past? Grab the book to know more....

When misfortunes strike and we are left with nothing it is Hope that keeps us going... Second chances are definitely required to give one a fresh start and balance in life. The author has a penchant for strong female characters, which is evident in the transformation of Moyna to Ahana which is inspiring. Aryan's character stands out from the rest .The compelling characters pull us along to experience the emotions with them. The author through his detailed narrative gives us a picture of the Red Light Area.

The concept is intriguing and has been narrated in a lucid language so as to keep the readers hooked. The title and the attractive cover complement each other and suit the contents aptly.
Overall a book that motivates each one of us to let go of the past, and give ourselves a fresh lease of life....

From the depths of despair to the heights of hope, "A Heart Full of Hope" by Shibaji Bose is a powerful story of redemption that will leave you breathless. This book takes you on a journey through the grit and heartbreak of the infamous "red-light" alleys of Sonagachi, Kolkata, where we meet Moyna, a young girl who has suffered unimaginable horrors.

Through Moyna's journey, we witness the power of second chances, as she is given the opportunity to lead a better life by an altruistic couple who adopt her and change her name to Ahana. Ahana's life takes a turn for the better, and she begins to live the life she deserves, unlike any other woman in her previous situation. But as she finds happiness, tragedy strikes once again, forcing her to confront the demons of her past.

Bose's narration of the story is both moving and engrossing, as he takes us through the highs and lows of Ahana's life. The way Aryan, a special character in Ahana's life, responds when Ahana tells him her story and how they both deal with it is articulated beautifully. The characters are fleshed out, and the intricate accounts of the characters and settings are incredibly detailed, making the story all the more immersive.

The use of colloquial expressions and clear language make this story a compelling read, while also highlighting the importance of never losing hope. Ahana's story shows us that life can be gracious sometimes, even in the face of overwhelming adversity. Through her struggles, we see the resilience of the human spirit and the power of second chances.

"A Heart Full of Hope" is a must-read for anyone who wants to be inspired by the strength of the human spirit and the power of hope. It's a reminder that no matter how dark life may seem, there is always light at the end of the tunnel. This book will take you on an emotional rollercoaster, leaving you with a renewed sense of hope and a belief in the power of second chances.

A Heart Full Of Hope is all about second chances...mending your relationships. The story shows how 'hope' and 'second chances' can do wonders. Often we bring ego in between and break our relations without a second thought. This book shows how a second chance sometimes can turn around things for the good.
I must say i have thoroughly enjoyed reading this. So full of emotions and realistic situations. The plot is so engaging that i was totally immersed in it. You will feel what the characters are going through. And it was so beautiful watching them mending their relationships.
There are many characters in the book each having their own importance. The story is not cheesy and that's what i liked the most. It's been kept raw and realistic. Language is simple so anyone can read it. Also the beautiful eye catching cover which made the book irresistible.

I had a lovely time reading this. I also cried a little....made me emotional.

In today's time where we dont bother to save our relations, books like this show us the true meaning of second chances and saving relationships.

A Heart full of Hope
Author- Shibaji Bose
My Rating-⭐⭐⭐⭐
My Review-
Hope is a wonderful thing…

No one's life is easy, in fact life without hurdles, misfortunes and downfalls is always incomplete. Even in fairy tales stories misfortunes happen. One must understand that for every failure at the beginning, there is a second chance that is awaiting for us and that's where we should be strong enough to make our lives towards success and happiness in our lives. The second chance may or may not come instantly, that's where we should remain positive with a hope it'll arrive soon.

This is what I've learnt from this wonderful story and I'm so happy to share a word about this book. As the blurb of this book can give a good information about the plot of this story I don't wanna give much spoilers in this review. All I can say is that this book is thrilling, inspirational and a worthy read for me.

Every character in this book has something to learn and all these characters are blended in such a way that makes this book very intriguing and the language used in this book is very graspable enough to make it an extraordinarily fast paced story that can be finished in a couple of sittings. I love the bond between Ayana and Aryan very much.

This book is a story of struggles, healing, and growth that happens in our lives which is reflected in the story of Moyna in this book. The motivation we get from this book is definitely priceless. We can get a glimpse about the cruelty of human trafficking in society and the need to support them emotionally through this book.

I highly recommend this book to all my bookish friends to give this one a try and understand the essence of this book. Happy Reading 😊❤️…

Martin Luther King Jr had once said,
‘Only in the darkness can you see the stars’.
In other words, never lose hope, for it is hope that’ll guide you out of the darkness and help you see the light.

‘A heart full of hope’ is one such story within which the power of hope and second chances is explored.

The story revolves around Ahana whose life has gone for a toss when her trust is broken by a man named Motilal, on whose promise of securing a job for Ahana, her father sends her to the city of Kolkata.
However, Ahana instead lands up in a brothel!

In enters Suchitra Devi, a social worker who eventually finds Ahana and decides to rescue her and give her a shelter under her own home.

Ahana’s life is quite smooth after that and in enters Aryan, her love interest and Rhea, her best friend who is also Aryan’s sister, into her life.
Aryan and Rhea have stories of their own that run in the background.
The centre of all of their stories being hope!

I personally found the story to be quite alright though I did feel that the narrative could have been better.
The story at many places did connect and at many it didn’t!
The characters sometimes felt natural and sometimes felt forced.
The story gave me mixed respones, wherein sometimes I was into it and at other times I zoned out!

I did enjoy the portrayal of Aryan and Priya’s friendship though; wherein Priya wonderfully managed her love for Aryan. I thought that was beautiful and something that we should see more often.

On the whole, this one was an okayish read for me!

Sometimes life gives us second chance. At that time give your best shot. Try to be more gratefull to it if God is offering you second chance in life. Don't let the baggage of the past ruin your present. This tale is all about hope & second chances that life offers.

She got the new name ' Ahana' along with the new identity & new life. But the haunting past always disturbs her. She embrace the new life but has many wounds inside. Later she falls in love with Aryan who is also carrying a bad past. When two of them one night confesses their truth about the past it became hard for both of them to move on in their relationship. Will they accept each other? Will they give themselves second chance in life? How the life story of Aryan & Ahana turns at the end?
.
I liked the characters development in the novel. All the characters in the story have flaws and bad past experiences. The transformation of all the characters give us hope & motivation to move on & achieve our dreams. All the characters in the novel never lose hope till the end. And found second chance to work on. Their broken hearts heals with the rays of hope. Eventually at the end they find their happiness waiting for them.
.
This book also unfold the social evils human trafficking & prostitution. About the victims of prostitution Who held captive against their wishes & forced into prostitution. You'll see the painful story of all these victims through the Moyna's characters.
.
I highly recommend you all to read this book. Its a short inspiring read. It holds me engage & within 24 hrs I finsihed it.

"A Heart Full of Hope" by Shibaji Bose is an emotionally gripping tale that takes readers on a journey of hope, perseverance, and second chances. The strikingly beautiful cover with subtle colors is aesthetically pleasing and alluring to the readers.The story revolves around the life of Moyna aka Ahana, a young girl who is rescued from a life of prostitution in the infamous Sonagachi red-light district of Kolkata and given a new chance at life by her foster parents.

Ahana is just one of many names who are subjected to such treatment in India even today. How girls are lured into prostitution under the false promise of employment or higher education is heart-rending. The character of Ahana is well-developed and her transformation from a broken and traumatized young girl to a strong and determined young woman is inspiring.

One of the most heartwarming aspects of the story is the relationship between Ahana and Aryan, who becomes a pivotal figure in her life. Aryan's unwavering support and encouragement give Ahana the courage to chase her dreams and start her own business, despite the obstacles in her path. However, it remains to be seen whether Ahana will be able to completely accept her found family and if Aryan will be able to accept her when confronted with her past.

It is an amazing book which can be finished in a single-sitting. The story-telling is so excellent and engaging that it is really hard to take a break while reading this book.

A Heart Full of Hope by Shibaji Bose is an unconventional masterpiece that takes you on a journey of the heart and mind. This captivating book follows the story of Moyna, a young girl full of hope and dreams who is forced into the harrowing world of human trafficking and ends up in the red-light district of Kolkata.

What's also unconventional about this book is the way it handles sensitive issues such as prostitution and trafficking. The author doesn't shy away from these topics, but instead explores them with nuance and empathy. He portrays the characters as complex human beings, not just victims or villains, and invites the reader to explore their inner lives and motivations.

The characters in A Heart Full of Hope are another highlight of the book. Each one is fleshed out with their own unique backstory, personality, and motivations. You'll find yourself invested in their lives and rooting for them as they navigate the challenges of living in the red-light district.

But perhaps the most unconventional aspect of this book is the way it celebrates the human spirit. Despite the darkness and pain that Moyna and the other characters face, they never lose hope. They continue to dream, love, and fight for a better life, and their resilience is both inspiring and heartwarming.

Finally, the writing in this book is simply beautiful. The author has a gift for language, and his descriptions of Kolkata and its people are vivid and poetic. You'll feel like you're right there with Moyna as she navigates the crowded streets and hidden alleys of the city.

Review:
Just like the title says, the book, the whole story showcasing the hope, hope to find happiness, hope to live alive again no matter what and finally achieving it.

The story starts with a very sad scene that going to make you mad. As we meet our FMC, Moyna, who is dragging out of a police van after rescuing from red light area. While she is trembling in fear, people are being filthy around her. But after long suffering she finally find her second chance when she's adopted to a new family and also meet a man Aryan, who himself trying to find his own second chance.

The story is a very heart touching, beautiful story, with a very serious and sensitive topic. And I like how the author expresses it all through Moyna, with her amazing story telling technique that'll hook you to the story till the very end.

Moyna's struggle when she's in that hell or after getting out of it physically, but mentally still stuck there, her battling against it, all are portrays here beautifully. And not just Moyna, Aryan's story is also very touching.

Both of their journey is inspiring, their character development is remarkable and I love both of them equally.

So definitely a book I would love to recommend all.

✍️ 'Life' - one of the most unpredictable things in this world. It never fails to surprise people with its sudden happenings and no wonder people feel extreme moments because of this roller coaster ride. Sometimes it makes feel us on cloud nine and sometimes we lose all hope in life.

👉 The best part is life gives us a second chance. Everyone gets this second chance but one needs to act smart while using this opportunity. If you are wise enough you can have a drastic u-turn from where you stand but if can't understand then the opportunity never comes again.

🙏 This book is so full of positive energies. It gives us thoughts and ideas that can be applied to overcome stress.

The first half of the book talks about a girl's miserable condition. How she fell into a trap, how her life became awful, etc. Then in the next half, we got to know about her rising. She got a new family, new hope and many fresh opportunities. It's just that she needs to grab a second chance and live the life she always wanted.

✍️ I like the side characters in this story as the author has a different verse for every character here. Maybe they are short but each has an impact on the story's progression. The simple narration made this book an easy read and everyone should read such kind of motivational stories sometimes.

#qotd - How do you forgive people who have wronged you ?

I know it’s tough and needs a lot of patience and peace to come to terms with the injustice that has happened. But, is there any other way for us to move on, rather than holding the agony ?

Bashed with deceit and hardships Ahana, Aryan, Rhea and Priya swim through the unexpected challenges that were thrusted upon them by life by one or other way. This is a story of resilience, learning and hopefulness where the characters not only face their demons, but also fight them hard enough to shape themselves better. This is the part I liked the most in the story. People do make mistakes, people get abandoned, people get tricked, but what people shouldn’t stop is moving on.

The relationship of Aryan and Priya is something that attracted me much. The conversations they had are so pure that I ended up praising their bond. The author highlighted the significance of family, relations and love in this light read. The depth of it is evident in all the chapters and I have shared a few phrases that I have highlighted while reading. Do swipe till the end. Also the conversations of Ahana and Aryan are quite sweet at few instances and I loved them!

Hope— it is a beautiful thing. As the title says this book is all about a heart full of hope.

Shibaji bose's book 'A heart full of hope' is a very satisfying read.

Without giving any spoiler let me briefly tell you about the plot and the protagonist — Moyna is a lovely young girl but her destiny was not in her favour.
She was tricked and became the victim of human trafficking- she had to face the brutal dark face in the red light area of Kolkata.
All her hope was about to shattered but life give her a second chance —she was rescued.

She got a new life and met a smart dashing man — Aryan.


Can she be recovered fully?
Can she heal herself?
Can she overcome the trauma and live a normal life?

Find all your answers by reading this book.

I am from Kolkata —the plot and the references were so relatable to me. This book is an emotional roller coaster ride. Every emotions of Moyna can be felt by the readers because of the lively writing style of the author.

I highly recommend this to all my fellow readers.
Happy reading!

Having a second chance in life means having an opportunity to live your life. An emotional and compelling story, of Moyna, who was fighter, courageous girl. She left her home and father to earn a living for betterment, but life has its own decided path which yet to unravel. Her happiness turns into a gloomy days when she had escaped from trafficking on the streets of Sonagachi, Kolkata. The police has raided at the specified venue to investigate the case.

At the cell quarter, Moyna met Suchitra Devi, a social activist who accepted her as a daughter & gave a second chance to start her life. Moyna’s name was rebranded as “Ahana” & her confidence was boosted when Aryan made the entry into her life. He tried to make her believe in herself so she can show her capabilities and compassion towards new goals and ambitions.

The character of Suchitra Devi creates an enlightenment that how woman takes authority to change other person life. Suchitra has seen the potential growth in Moyna to be a great person. The book is intriguing and interesting to read.

Shibaji Bose's A heart full of hope : The magic of second chances is all about hope, and not giving up. There is always light at the end of the tunnel, we just have to move forward even if it is dark so that we can see the light. The hope that darkness will fade away is what keeps us going. Even if we pass one dark tunnel, there may be more which we have to cross but we must not lose hope.

Moyna, who faced darkness time and again didn't lose hope. When she shared her story to Aryan the way he reacted and how she they both dealt with it is well described. The characters are developed well and I mainly liked Rhea's character. The way author narrated the story is surprising and captivating.

What I liked the most is how second chances can change everything more beautiful than before and the hope which gives life a different meaning. Overall, this is a good, hopeful and meaningful read which will give you a new perspective.

It was very difficult for me to write a spoiler free review but I managed somehow.

So, there will less discussion around story but I will still talk story plot. It's really engaging and entertaining. Characters are also interesting.

Personally I find it very disturbing when I think about person who went through situation of human trafficking which eventually lead to the prostitution. Coming out of it and getting ahead in life is very difficult especially when you are not supported by anyone.

Ahana on the other side got whole new family after getting out of trap of trafficking. What happened next will be revealed to those who get the copy ASAP 🤭.

Overall great enjoying experience reading it and if you also find engaging fiction attractive this book is for you. And the beautiful cover, compact size handy for travel read along with bigger font size are some of the plus points or additional advantages to be considered while choosing this.

'A heart full of hope by shibaji bose is a brilliantly penned book that takes you on a journey of persistence, longing & giving second chances in one's life.

The story begins with a girl name Moyna who got tricked & trafficked for prostitution & got rescued from the dirty lanes of the red light area of sonagachi (kolkata) by her foster parents.

Life has given her a second chance but accepting the harsh realities of the world is not easy.
With a dream of becoming a successful entrepreneur Moyna aka ayana is still carrying the baggage of the past which still traumatizes her.

Aryan a young successful bachelor has given her unwavering support & encouragement & filled all the voids of her heart, and helped her to become more confident & robust.

There are still lots of ayana who are suffering from their not-so-good past & there are many Aryans who are still there with them in their tough times. If you too have that Aryan in your life, don't leave him, accept the past & move on.

Worth read!!

No matter what the circumstances, it is important and necessary that we keep hope as this is what plays an essential role in our overall well-being and help us navigate through the challenges that we may encounter.

This is the reason why we may have heard that when we have hope, we are more likely to be open to new experiences and relationships. This can help us build stronger connections with others, which can improve our social support and overall quality of life.

In the book, ‘A Heart Full of Hope: The Magic of Second Chances’ by author Shibaji Bose, our main protagonist was dealt with the worst of the circumstances that she could have imagined, leaving to deal with the wrath.

However, hope comes into her life when she gets a second chance, the one who will help her realize that everything that she endured was just a stepping stone as her experiences were what made her stronger and wiser in the end. Hence, I am going to give this FIVE STARS ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
