Elegiac Paean (Paperback or Softback)

LOVE IS BOUNDLESS. In this prose, you will witness how the author, Pradeep Berry, has shown his love and devotion to his wife even in her death. This book is a panegyric on his love for Connie in a dirge-like narrative.

An immigrant from India, with just seven dollars on hand, Pradeep never expected to meet a beautiful, intelligent wife in America in his wildest dreams. Regrettably, their tale ended in a demise marked by connivance and treachery.

Before adopting his focus on philanthropy and outreach, Pradeep Berry enjoyed a successful career in finance and accounting as the president of Crisis Management for Financial and Auditing Consulting Services Inc., after excelling in senior executive roles with CIB Marine Bancshares Inc., Dina Corporation, and the Hong Kong Bank of Shanghai. Pradeep was also a senior officer at Charthouse Inc, a subsidiary of the Pillsbury Institute, from 1977 to 1978. He joined Heller, which Fuji Bank bought, in 1979 and worked there for 14 years. In 2005, he left a high position to look after his wife's health for ten years. During this time, they enjoyed traveling, attending symphonies, and spending time together - this time is precious to him as she was the most important person in his life. As he recounts, "Connie was a brilliant American girl, and it was love at first sight. She was born in Glenview, IL, and was a professor at army bases in Germany and France. They were married on January 15, 1976."
