Description
Koly was a thirteen-year-old girl in India where girls were often forced to get married at young ages to men they had never met before. Because Koly’s family struggled to keep enough food on the table to feed the whole house, they figured that it would be best for her to get married as soon as a husband could be found. After she gets married to a young teen named Hari, she discovers not only had they lied to her about Hari’s age and health, but that he only married for the dowry money to continue treatment for his illness. Hari’s mother is unbearably rude to Koly, treating her like a servant of the house. One event after another unfolds, as Koly finds herself in a desperate situation that requires her to have bravery and determination for a better life.186 pgs, pb.
