Like many girls her age in India at that time, thirteen-year-old Koly is getting married. Full of hope and courage, she leaves home forever. But Koly's story takes a terrible turn when, in the wake of the ceremony, she discovers she has been horribly misled about exactly what she is marrying into. Her future, it would seem, is lost. Yet this rare young woman, bewildered and brave, sets out to forge her own exceptional future.
