"I have never cried so much from reading a book! Every page was filled with deep emotion and I cried on every page I read! As a father of two children, I felt my heart tear out as I read about the pain the mother felt on losing a child. Swarn Lamba has expressed her feelings from her innermost being as she takes you from varieties of emotions - of love, of loss, of agony. Her closeness to her charming child is evident in every word she has written. I am convinced that every parent reading this book will experience part of her pain. I met Swarn and her daughter Maansi but never met Jay. However, from reading "A Twinkle, A Tear" I got a glimpse of a wonderful, loving and sensitive child. I guess the statement "the good die young" seems apt in this true story.

I have a much greater appreciation of my children after reading "A Twinkle, A Tear". Swarn Lamba has written a fantastic, moving and gripping book of poetry expressing her love, loss and pain. A highly recommended read!"
