Prerna Bhakat is a writer who believes that stories are not merely written—they are lived, endured, and deeply felt. Her work grows from journeys through love, loss, and the long, uncertain road of healing, where silence often speaks louder than words. Writing has been her way of finding herself again and transforming pain into meaning.
As a woman and a mother, Prerna understands how deeply women carry emotions that are rarely acknowledged—grief that lingers, love that wounds, and strength that forms quietly in survival. Her writing gives voice to those buried feelings we are taught to hide, exploring themes of inherited silence, resilience, and the courage it takes to break generational cycles.
The Empty Hour — Where a Woman Finds Herself Again is a reflection of this belief. It is a tribute to the women who came before, the women who endure in the present, and the women still learning to choose themselves. Through emotional honesty and quiet depth, Prerna reminds readers that healing begins when we stop pretending to be fine—and that no woman is ever truly alone in her struggle.
