At the end of the twentieth century India has forged ahead into the future However, traditions remain fettered to the past. Despite her image of a liberated young woman in the late 1980s, Afia Rana is aware that at the slightest provocation her orthodox parents will force her to give up her job and marry a man of their choice. When this happens it is too late. She has already found the man of her choice. Vulnerable in her innocence and powerlessness to resist the sauve Dhruv Tandon, owner of the flourishing company Tandon Steel, Afia is pregnant with his child. Drowning in a sea of disillusion, daunted by the prospect of motherhood in a culture that decries single- mothers, all Afia has to offer her child is her love which she hopes will be......... Enduring enough to protect him from a self-righteous society fraught with double- standards. Astute enough to help him cope with the hard fact that his father is married to a woman who is not his mother. Strong enough to break the fetters that bind her and her son to Tandon.
