In this searing memoir, Chanchal Garg reveals the spiritual and sexual abuse that shattered her sense of self and forced her to question a life defined by duty and sacrifice. Raised as a devoted Indian daughter, she was taught never to question authority-until a transformative moment during a yoga class, while pregnant with her daughter, awakened a truth she could no longer ignore.

That realization set her on a solitary journey, as she lost her faith, community, and the life she had always known. Without the support she had once relied on, she had to learn to trust herself, reclaim her bicultural identity, and redefine what it meant to be both Indian and American-on her own terms.

Unearthed is a powerful call to every woman who has ever felt silenced-an invitation to trust your inner voice, reclaim your story, and return to yourself.

Industry Reviews

Unearthed is a deeply personal, wise, and beautiful memoir of self-discovery and healing. Chanchal Garg illuminates the complexities of family, marriage, and cultural expectations, revealing how transformation begins when we dare to question our deepest conditioning. This luminous story will resonate with anyone navigating the delicate balance between honoring tradition and claiming their truth.

- Kara Cutruzzula, author of Do It for Yourself, Do It Today, and Do It (or Don't)

A powerful, courageous, and vital read that dives deep into the reality of spiritual abuse, cult leaders, and what it takes to find your voice. In a world where many women of color have had their voices silenced, Chanchal arises as a powerful disrupter. A debut author to watch!

-Jas Rawlinson, award-winning speaker, advocate, and best-selling author

I had a moment during a difficult time when a crucial insight emerged: my power is not derivative. As I read Chanchal's moving journey, I was struck by how many women never get the chance to

come to this realization-despite it being true for all of us. Her story is both tender and fierce, and it moved me deeply. The way she names and reclaims her intrinsic power is not only personal-it's an invitation. More than just a story, Chanchal has written a critical offering for our moment-one that calls women back to themselves with honesty, courage, and hope.

-Sheila Warren, CEO Project Liberty Institute

Unearthed is a searing memoir exploring how a smart, levelheaded woman falls under the spell of a so-called guru, tolerating sexual abuse. It accurately portrays how even loving families can damage their children, and the difficult road to healing. At times I wanted to shout at the protagonist yet always admired her honesty and courage in revealing herself. Chanchal Garg lays the story out in deft, beautiful writing. It will linger with me.

-Melissa Connelly, author of What was Lost, finalist for the Feathered Quill Award

I loved reading about how Garg approached breaking generational patterns, finding the courage to live on her own terms.

- Elaine Lou Cartas, Business & Executive Career Coach for WOC & Allies

This story will resonate deeply with anyone who has experienced abuse within systems of power. A must-read for those interested in stories of loyalty, lies and liberation.

- Rosie McMahan, author and counselor

This book is a gift of vulnerability, strength, and transformation.

-Carole Robin, Ph.D., author, Connect: Building Exceptional Relationships with Family, Friends and Colleagues
