About the Book

He was a cardiologist at the top of his game-until his own body turned on him. On an ordinary Monday, a sudden cramp in Dr. Deepak Thekkoott's leg sent him on a harrowing journey from healer to patient. Diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia, he was thrown into the chaos of hospitals, chemo, and confronting death-all while trying to hold his family, his faith, and his sense of self together. Silk and Clay: A Physician's Journey of Cancer, Survival, and Restored Faith is a richly layered narrative that weaves together medicine, memory, and migration-told with unflinching honesty and spiritual depth. It is about what it means to heal when the cure might kill you, and to carry centuries of culture and love through each brutal day. With sharp detail, searing vulnerability, and flashes of dry wit, Dr. Deepak invites us into a body broken, a spirit searching, and a soul that refuses to be undone.

About the Author :
Dr. Deepak Thekkoott is a Brooklyn-based cardiologist known for combining clinical excellence with compassionate care. With decades of international experience in the U.S. and U.K., he currently practices at Maimonides Medical Center and helps train the next generation of heart specialists. A fellow of both the American College of Cardiology and the Royal College of Physicians, he holds seven board certifications in cardiovascular medicine. Born and educated in southern India, Dr. Thekkoott brings a global perspective to his work and life. He lives in Brooklyn with his wife, Deepa, and finds joy in serving others with what he calls "a heart filled with love." His son, Soorya, is pursuing graduate studies in mathematics after completing active duty service with the United States Air Force and currently serving for the Washington, DC Air National Guard.

Review :
"Silk and Clay is not just a story of illness. It is a testimony to what it means to live with soul-deep honesty. To let your body be reshaped by suffering and your spirit softened by grace. To be clay-broken, fired, and formed anew. And to be silk-resilient, fluid, luminous with the light of faith." Dr. Mike Klaybor, Ph.D., Psychotherapist "Dr. Deepak's journey needs to be read and re-read, not for the sake of knowing another person's path of heartache, suffering, and survival, but to have someone join you on your own path. Too often physicians do not allow others to look beneath their god-like and professional exterior, which is the tragedy of the healing experience itself, but through humor, humility, and honesty, Dr. Deepak becomes not only a clinician, but also a client and co-conspirator on the path to wholeness and wellbeing. Silk and Clay moves beyond memoir into another realm of writing, a place where I invite all readers to visit." Rev. Dr. Phuc Luu, Ph.D. Author of Jesus of the East: Reclaiming the Gospel for the Wounded and Buddha Talk: About Suff ering, Desire, and Happiness
