Metanoia
About the book
Metanoia is a haunting story of loss, love, and the search for meaning. A young polar bear loses his family and is left with memories he cannot fully understand and questions he cannot answer. As he grows older, the past remains closer than he realizes. Then, one decision changes everything. What follows is a journey through love, loss, uncertainty, and the depths of the mind, where nothing is quite as simple as it first appears. Metanoia is an introspective and unsettling exploration of grief, identity, and the fragile boundary between what we believe and what we cannot escape. Some journeys change where you end up. Others change who you are.

About the author
Founder of IndieFiction.com and author of Me for Myself: When Nothing Makes Sense, Abhishek Aggarwal is a writer, entrepreneur, and lifelong seeker exploring the deeper questions of life, identity, and the human mind. Educated in Melbourne, Australia, Abhishek has built an unconventional career spanning hospitality, construction, banking, and entrepreneurship. His diverse experiences and the challenges that came with them shaped his understanding of ambition, success, failure, relationships, and the often unseen struggles beneath everyday life. His personal journey through anxiety, depression, panic attacks, financial pressures, family challenges, and periods of profound uncertainty led him to look beyond conventional ideas of success and begin questioning the mind, emotions, identity, spirituality, and the meaning of existence. These questions became the foundation for Me for Myself: When Nothing Makes Sense, a deeply personal exploration of what happens when the answers we seek outside ourselves no longer seem enough. Through his writing, Abhishek does not claim to have all the answers. Instead, he encourages readers to pause, question, look inward, and examine the beliefs and identities that shape their lives. As the founder of IndieFiction.com, he also works to create space for independent writers and original voices, helping stories find readers beyond traditional publishing boundaries. His work sits at the intersection of self-exploration, philosophy, spirituality, and the complexities of being human.
