It is the retelling of a true incident . A kidnapping case of a 16 year old girl and how she went into a disastrous series of heinous tortures every single day multiple times in the hands of different hideous evils that luck in the same society that we leave in.
Abhay was in ninth grade and somehow she decides to elope with a bus conductor Babu but she gets cheated and kidnapped by an woman in her way.
It is very disturbing to know that it is the story of a real girl who is now recovering after 7 years. And yes these things happen very easily in India and other countries. Predators are always running all over the place to have a young victim.
When she understands she has got into a major problem , she has no way to escape . She looks back at her life in her parents home that how she was loved and cared about and how the strangers who kept her in captivity beat her , use her to income dirty money by using her as a sex slave was very heart wrenching.
If the reading can make me feel so devastated even when author kept the content very clean without adding very deep details of the acts , I cannot understand how brave she was to endure all the unimaginable pain she had to go through each day and what kind of ill minded people live in our community irrespective of their age, status or family background is outside sometimes of our understanding . Hideous old men too . Author has done a commendable job by taking up the real story of this survivor which needs to be told again and again , parents can be more vigilant , government can take steps and young girls lured by love and security of dreamland understand how important it is to take thoughtful decisions because one small mistake can make them go through search hellish experiences changing the perspective of this world forever .
I hope the real survivor gets well soon, understand we all support her and its high time such criminals get punished . If I were a police woman I would take away their skin one day at a time . Narration was so flawless and the way author has put Abhay's thoughts was very emotionally captivating. The cover could have been better I hope author's work reaches many other readers because it is a work that talks about a big social evil that needs to be cleaned once and for all.
