In Her Sixteen: Part Two - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

She escaped the house she was sold into. Now she has to survive being free.

Rural India, 2002. Sixteen years old, pregnant, and hunted, Revati lies hidden in a brick channel under a cart track with nothing but the clothes she ran in and a carved wooden bird. A goat-herding boy has already seen her face. By nightfall the whole district will be looking for her.

What comes next is a desperate journey by train into a vast city that does not know her name. Revati has no papers, no money, and no voice. Somewhere along the way she stopped speaking, and the silence has set in her like a badly healed bone. Strangers feed her. Strangers shelter her. And every kindness carries a price she does not see until it is too late.

Because freedom is never free for only one person.

While Revati fights to build a life in a crowded lane, the women she left behind are paying for her escape. Two women move through this story in opposite directions. One will end it with a city, a child, and a name. The other has nowhere left to go.

In Her Sixteen: Part Two is the powerful conclusion to the In Her Sixteen duology. It is a raw, unforgettable novel of survival, motherhood, and the cost of freedom, inspired by the real lives of girls lost to child marriage and trafficking.

Perfect for readers of emotional literary fiction, Indian women's fiction, and stories of courage that stay with you long after the last page.
