It was recommended as 'one of the 20 books which will change your perspective of life'. It is a tragic story covering a broad spectrum of life issues: adolescence, parent-child relationship, single parents, drug problems, in-laws, Shreemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05441860729042786519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10611609.post-20598535501975447742016-09-23T13:19:30.709-05:002016-09-23T13:19:30.709-05:00Nupur,
