This book really opened my eyes. After reading it, I felt so angry that Indian men took part in the underground trade of Indian girls. (sigh) it makes me glad to be Indian American. I have heard other horror stories of Indian womyn having their bodies burned by acid by their arranged husbands or even beaten, because the wife would confront or threaten to leave him. Talk about: 1) double standard 2) domestic violence 3) saving face 4) no human rights for womyn. A moving book for any open-minded person.
