Que Sera, Sera
A mother's fight to survive the devastation of thalidomide and prejudice
About this book
The thalidomide tragedy of the 1960s exposed the flaws in medical testing, unethical marketing, and the lack of accountability in the pharmaceutical industry. The voices of affected mothers and surviving adults with thalidomide-induced disabilities have often been overlooked. This is Sukeshi Thakkar's story and her mother, Rama, was a victim too in this heart-breaking ordeal. Her life had been deeply affected as she cared for Sukeshi while tirelessly fighting for justice and financial stability. The emotional and stressful burden she carried was immense as she navigated a challenging path that required unwavering determination. Her struggle encompasses not only her child's well-being but also the quest for recognition and accountability for the harm caused.
