The names have been changed to protect the privacy of the people involved in the story. Shivani Ragunandan, a twenty-two-year-old college graduate, found herself betrothed into marriage by her family. Although it was not what she truly wanted, she went ahead with the wedding-only to find herself in a very unhappy marriage. Her husband was emotionally and physically abusive, cheating on her whenever the opportunity presented itself. Abiding by the rules of an arranged marriage in her Indo-Guyanese tradition, she was not allowed to file a divorce. She tried continuously to preserve her marriage to her twenty-seven-year-old husband. Although Shivani knew deep inside that this was not what she wanted, she feared her innocence, dignity, and reputation would be tarnished forever if she left her husband. Bound by cultural ties, she had no one to turn to but the celestial deities and her mother for guidance, faith, and strength.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Geeta Mangal\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1450299652\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781450299657\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e iUniverse\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/24\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 84\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.27lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.17d","brand":"Geeta Mangal","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48439199662335,"sku":"9781450299657","price":10.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_df3c2577-71d9-4691-aabb-eb2f1677ee00.jpg?v=1777176114","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-daughters-desire-a-mothers-geeta-mangal-9781450299657","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
