Saroja and Kumaresan are in love. After a hasty wedding, they arrive in Kumaresan's village, harboring a dangerous secret: Their marriage is an inter-caste one, likely to upset the village elders should they get to know of it. Kumaresan is naively confident that all will be well. But nothing is further from the truth. Despite the strident denials of the young couple, the villagers strongly suspect that Saroja must belong to a different caste. It is only a matter of time before their suspicions harden into certainty and, outraged, they set about exacting their revenge.

Resumen del Editor
How much would you risk to save one child?

Leslie tries to rescue Raveena from a sordid, exploitative underworld, but powerful and brutal men hold the girl and don’t intend to let anyone take her. Leslie tumbles into a terrifying underworld of systemic abuse she knows nothing about. But she won't stop until Raveena is safe, regardless of the cost.
In a battle against impossible odds, Leslie wagers everything she has - including her life - to free Raveena.

But when Jewel Henley arrived for her first day of work at a new job, she realized her exotic lover was in fact Piers Anetakis, her boss. A boss who had a strict rule about not getting involved with his employees. And so, just like that, Jewel was fired. With no money and no job, Jewel doubted it could get any worse. Then she discovered she was pregnant and that she'd have to confront Piers.

Audiobook. Book: 5 stars; narration 3.5 stars.
Thank you to the author Lara Bernhardt for this Audible giveaway.
I listened to most of the book yesterday and finished the final 40 minutes this morning.
The story was so gripping that within the first third of the book I was raving to my roommate that I wanted to go to India and adopt an orphan girl. This is a book with a lot of feeling, many highs and lows.
Normally I'm not one for a lot of God or Christian spirituality in my reading, however, I think the subject is handled deftly here. This is the private journey of this woman.
I wasn't overly impressed with the narrator, so 3 stars; but I added a .5 for the accents.

An emotional spectrum
This book took me on a roller coaster ride throughout India. At times I was angry, other times frustrated. Sometimes I was sad and other times relieved. In the end, I cried. Isn’t that what a good book is supposed to do? Bernhardt weaves a complicated tale about the underbelly of sex trafficking and human slaves. Her storytelling has you holding your breath for what’s next. All the meanwhile you root for justice and pour your heart and hope for the characters.

Superb
What an unbelievable and intriguing story. The Narrator takes us on a journey with Leslie and her husband to India. It turns out to be not just of pleasure but danger. She tries to rescue a child, but definitely filled with intrigue.
