Sunaina has experienced one of the worst crimes she could ever possibly imagine. Her parents literally forced her to move to the US to continue her education, to get away from Mumbai, to not have to live with the “shame” of what happened.
America was a total culture shock to her, obviously. But
then she discovers she’s not alone. She also discovers the quiet background
support of Rafiq, whom she met in Mumbai but didn’t want to get involved with
since her relationship with Paras didn’t turn out so well. Yeah, Paras … he
left her when he found out what happened.
The thing about Sunaina though … she could not let this go
or should she? This was an internal battle she continued to fight, even tucked
away in the US.
Through her actions she discovered another part of her
country that she didn’t know existed. She met a former political official while
she was imprisoned for what she did. This was a real eye-opener for Sunaina.
Throughout these pages there is a crime, a punishment, a wee
bit of politics near the end, parents and a sister who didn’t know what to do
other than provide their undying love and support, a best friend, a failed
relationship, and a new relationship. There is healing. There is a strong young
woman who decided to face her fears once she discovered she wasn’t alone in
what she had suffered. There is also the internal battle of deciding whether to
let the perpetrator get away with what he did or find some way to pay him back.
While Sunaina might not have made the best decision, in the end, she found out
that she had more internal strength than she thought she did. And the thing
about Sunaina? She never gave up and was brave enough to tell her story.
