Acts-of-Valor transplant a Muslim girl to a new life in New York but the pain and destruction of 9/11 still stings—people are angry— she-is-alone.
Choosing between doctrine and survival, trapped in a culture thousands of miles from her homeland, Lakshmi attempts to comprehend the cataclysmic events shaping her life.
Her father, prepared to make the ultimate sacrifice to protect loved ones from ravishes of a civil war, unwittingly places his daughter in another form of conflict.
…destiny is often cruel; the earth will only yield from the seeds sewn….
Isolated and subject to increasingly desperate conditions, a daughter must choose between maintaining the ideals and ideology of her past or embracing a risky but seductive western culture that will offer the freedom necessary in order to survive.
…once uprooted a sapling may grow but will the new soil taint the fruit poisoning those planting it?.....
The price is steep. Lakshmi risks the loss of her family, community and culture in order to pursue the uncertain but alluring future. Afraid for her life, she must choose but continue to protect her father and family from the damning truth at all costs.
Share the shocking, often bitter, often sweet taste of the unusual fruit borne from a life uprooted. Available as a e-book or in individual printed copies.
