Her parents , however , are traditional Sikhs , and when the opportunity for an arranged marriage suddenly presents itself , they commit her to an older man totally unknown to them or Maya .

REVIEWS
What follows for her are years of psychological abuse and isolation in a dysfunctional marriage , life-threatening illnesses , and three children who are
ignored by their maniacal father , even when their welfare is at stake . What sustains her throughout is her own strength of character , her belief system , and her sense of duty . Eventually , she realizes that her husband will never change , and only she can make the decision to change the course of her life and the lives of her children . For a woman in her culture and circumstance , breaking with tradition takes incredible courage and is not without risk , but she finds the strength to do so . The last chapters of the book are her take on finding the power within and achieving inner peace in the face of tremendous adversity .
