Dr. Susie Baboo Samuel grew up between India and Singapore carrying with her the stories, languages, and traditions of many worlds. A physician by training and a storyteller at heart, she writes with tenderness and humour about the ties that shape families and the journeys that define who we are. The Bear Wore a Swimsuit is her first memoir — a heartfelt exploration of memory, belonging, medical service and the enduring strength of love across continents and generations.
