Music of Conch

In *Music of Conch: To Be Lonely Don’t Stay Alone, Stay with People*, a story of healing and familial bonds unfolds through the lives of Robina’s children, Robi and Bina. The story begins with the traumatic aftermath of their mother's death at the hands of their abusive father. Robi, now a dedicated therapist, and Bina, struggling with her own past, find their lives intertwined with the power of music and memory.
