Asad Hussain Shah: Life Story
The man who changed everything. A raw, unfiltered biography of the mentor who taught Charlie that every life deserves to be a book.
About the Book
The Glass Meridian follows the Harmon family across three generations — from the sun-bleached villages of southern Italy to the restless streets of postwar Brooklyn, and finally to the quiet suburbs where secrets go to hide in plain sight.
At the center of the story is Elena, a woman caught between the weight of her grandmother's silence and the expectations of a world that demands she forget. When a box of old photographs surfaces during a house clearance, Elena is drawn into a labyrinth of memory, betrayal, and the fragile bonds that hold families together.
Written with Glass's signature blend of poetic precision and emotional depth, The Glass Meridian is a meditation on what we inherit, what we choose to remember, and the stories we tell ourselves to survive.
