“A skillfully conceived and executed work…[Eastabrooks’] dramatic debut novel illuminates a unique plight.”

"A gripping tale based on true-life events of a young widow in Rajasthan, India, who escapes the burning pyre of Sati. The novel is gripping from the start and has the reader rooting for the protagonist. This is a story of sheer grit and the desire to survive, against all odds."
