In this superb memoir, she tells her story – from her childhood as a shy, fearful girl, her days as a school teacher where she learnt the art of managing difficult students to her entry into politics leading to a tenure as health minister where she dealt with two terrifying epidemics. The book is originally written in English and co-authored by Manju Sara Rajan. The Malayalam translation of the work will be done by writer S Sithara. KK Shailaja said that the autobiography was written following the request made by the publishers when she served as the minister for health.
