Publisher's Synopsis
Traumatised by the abuse she was subjected to as child due to an astrologer's prediction, feeling like an orphan in her own home, Tamara vows to escape, to leave her bleak past behind. She is determined to escape from the hunger, humiliation, deprivation, and the double standards and isolation within the family she is subject to, even though she has no idea what might await her in a strange new land. The death of her grandmother, the one person who has offered support and understanding, makes her more determined.
