On the morning of March 18th, 2026, Vanshika Lamba's father went for a routine dive. He did not come back. He was her favourite person in the world.
Written at fourteen in the raw, immediate months following the worst day of her life, To My Father, With Love is not a book about death. It is an intimate, powerful celebration of a man—who he was, how he loved, and the enduring legacy he quietly built in the people around him.
As a remarkably successful investment banker, he chose presence over possessions. He walked away from material luxury to ensure his daily, unglamorous presence belonged fully to his family. Through tender, deeply personal vignettes, Vanshika explores what a father’s protective safety does to a daughter before she is old enough to understand it.
Part memoir and part universal guiding light, this book is a poignant letter to fathers who are still here—urging them not to waste a single ordinary moment they have left.
