Nirmala : The Mud Blossom - Award Winning Book of 4 Stars

Nirmala: The Mud Blossom

4 Star Award - Authors Talk About It Book Award Contest

2016 New Apple Summer eBook Awards- Solo "Medalist Winner" in the General Fiction category 

2014 Pinnacle Book Achievement Award, Best Book in the category of Novella. 
2015 Next Generation Indie Book Awards-Finalist 
2015 Readers' Favorite International Book Award- Honorable Mention 

This story is about Nirmala the Mud Blossom, who had the misfortune to be born a female in Mumbai. Rejected and thrown into the dustbin when she was just two days old, the child was rescued and returned to her family by the NGOs. 
Nirmala is ill-treated by her mother, always subject to violence at her hands. She is allowed to continue her studies only because she can then coach her younger brothers, as the parents are illiterate. Each beating is accepted with forbearance, as she loves to go to school to get books to read from her library. 
Nirmala is forced to stop her studies after the twelfth grade so her parents can save enough money to send the boys to college. She is then married off, but while her married life begins smoothly, it is only the beginning of her next phase of hell. After giving birth to her first child, Nirmala is subjected to harassment, beatings, and forced into doing things contrary to her beliefs and dreams. Her life is shattered. 
What will happen to this little mud blossom? Will she fight back or succumb? How can she rid herself of harassment and rise above the stigma she endures? 
Nirmala: The Mud Blossom graphically depicts the travails, discrimination, and abuse faced by female children in India from the cradle to the grave. 
"I am positive many readers will be thrilled with her powerful, passionate fiction portraying the "crying out" of the human spirit." 
Margaret Virany, author of 
A Book of Kells: Growing Up in an Ego Void

When marine biologist Garrett Holmes first meets the boat captain on the vessel he has chartered for research, he’s skeptical of the abilities of the pretty, young woman.

Despite his initial misgivings, once Garrett gets to know Skylar Cartwright, it doesn’t take him long to fall for her. Even with her privileged background as the daughter of a wealthy Miami family, Skylar is spirited and independent—set on earning her own living chartering scuba and snorkeling tours with her boat.
