Personal life:

Pather was born in South Africa and was raised by her mother, single parent - Sharlene Sooriah. Pather is Hindi but does not describe herself as traditionally "religious".

Growing up, Pather was rarely without a book in her hand. Her love for reading was deeply cultivated from such a young age and hence her love for writing eventually flourished.

She grew up in Johannesburg, South Africa but had eventually returned to Durban to be closer to her family in 2010. In 2015, Deliverance was written despite it only having been published officially in 2018.

Pather currently still resides in Durban, South Africa, with her mother and cat as she pursues other projects.

Deliverance novel:

In 2015, Pather started working on her first novel, Deliverance. Deliverance was released by the self-publication firm, Reach Publishers in 2018 and is a young adult fictional story surrounding three unusually close siblings - Kylar, Skylar and Cameron Harris.

While Deliverance is primarily a young adult fictional read, the book also contains elements of romance and hints of a psychological thriller.

Deliverance speaks of common but rarely spoken about realities in the live of our youth with issues such as abuse and homosexuality. Pather's book explores the tale of survival of abuse in the Harris family, as well as how one of their own learns how to be comfortable in their own skin.
