The Unwanted Wife: Secrets and Lies Exposed An Arranged Marriage Hell (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781922597472)

Your wedding day is meant to be one of the happiest days of your life, a time abound with unbridled love and connection. But family secrets and hidden fears can quickly impede on the supposed happiness of this day.

For most, marrying the love of your life is where the fairy tale begins, but that is not always the case. For some, it is the beginning of a nightmare.

The Unwanted Wife is one woman's story about a marriage that was the exact opposite of what everything it is supposed to be: Loveless, soulless, and worst of all, abusive.

Arranged marriages are common in many cultures, yet most of those involved are unwilling participants in a game of power, one-upmanship, and positioning between two families.

This is a story of one bride's journey from a life filled with fear, abuse, and anxiety, not to mention unspeakable situations too shocking to reveal, and how she used the power of positivity to make life-changing decisions that lead her to find strength, resilience, and a life filled with love.

Step into Maya's shoes as she leaves Guyana to live in Canada with a family she does not know, and a man she does not love, and how she adapted to a whole new life. Bear witness to her courageous tale of how she endured the toughest of times - facing a multitude of obstacles, disillusions, and disappointments - for the sake of her children, and how, after finding strength in her own voice, she was able to find true love.
