Girl in a Red Silk Sari
Her life is low, but her price is high…
Thirten-year-old Asha is the daughter of Caroline, an American mother, and Kamal, an Indian father, who have been driven apart by circumstances. She has lived happily with loving foster-parents for many years, but when they are killed in a tragic accident, she vanishes into thin air.
Caroline and Kamal rush to the scene of the disaster, reunited again in order to rescue their beloved daughter. To their horror, they learn that she is now in the hands of unscrupulous child traffickers.
Asha ends up in Mumbai’s notorious Red-Light District: on the market as a high-value virgin, for sale to the highest bidder. Caroline and Kamal must find that precious needle in a haystack; one little lost girl in the anonymous crowds and chaos of an Indian megacity. A seemingly impossible task.
But when Asha’s beloved foster sister, street-smart Janiki who has her own special skill, joins the search, Caroline and Kamal find new courage and strength of spirit. Now they must find Asha before it’s too late. A race against time, and no-one waits for them.
Desperate times call for desperate measures…
(In spite of the truly horrific subject matter, I assure readers that there are no graphic details of child sexual abuse in this story.)
