About the Book:

Barely out of high school, Purnima is married to a mature gentleman from Scotland, and is sent away with lots of gifts and blessings to live a beautiful life in the lovely Edinburgh. Only to realize that there was hardly any space for her in the man’s life, and heart. She spent years to learn, work hard and mould herself, to find courage to endure her unimaginable circumstances and slowly build a life worth living. This story reveals the heartbreaking details of her journey from being a voiceless sweet young girl to becoming a self-dependent woman in the face of hardships.

About the Author:

In her stark, utterly honest and unflinching narrative, Purnima opens up about what she experienced, during her years spent in India, Scotland and China, and how she accommodated the changes and uplifted herself, amidst disappointments, betrayals, truths and realities. When she couldn’t see where the future was leading, she remained positive and continued working hard, believing there will be a better tomorrow.

Portraying a powerful symbol of hope for other women as well, Purnima took the courage to embark on a deviant path, setting an example, proving that each one of us has abilities and potential to work towards our dreams.

Now known as Purnima Gangam, she lives in China with her husband and her miracle baby. She is passionately involved in bringing cultures together via her cooking workshops, and inspires many to stay firm and fight for their rights.
