Ahalya Ghai and her younger sister Sita are as close as sisters can be. But when a tsunami rips through their village on India's Coromandel coast, their home is swept away, and the sisters are the sole survivors of their family. Destitute, their only hope is to find refuge at a convent many miles away. A driver agrees to take them. But the moment they get into that car their fate is sealed. The two sisters - confused, alone, totally reliant on each other - are sold. On the other side of the world, Washington lawyer Thomas Clarke is struggling to cope after the death of his baby daughter and the collapse of his marriage. He takes a sabbatical from his high-pressure job and accepts a position with the Bombay branch of an international anti-trafficking group. Thomas is now on a desperate path to try and save not only himself and his marriage, but also the lives of the two sisters.

'Addison's debut is an unforgettable read' Star. - Star
This is a very moving novel telling a heartwrenching story of 2 orphaned sisters who become involved in the seedy world of human trafficking. Do not let the pretty cover fool you it is hardhitting and pageturning.
This is a book about an horrific subject....sometimes harrowing but always hopeful and eloquently written. A thought provoking, moving and memorable book which highlights good and evil.
