In a world where justice is a luxury, Godavari, a devadasi in rural India, faces a heart-wrenching choice between revenge and forgiveness. Betrayed and married off to a temple at the tender age of eleven, Godavari is no stranger to hardship. Her only joy is her daughter, Sreeja, a beacon of hope born out of wedlock amidst her life of servitude. But the arrival of mysterious relatives from America threatens her fragile world, putting everything she holds dear, including Sreeja's life, in peril. As she grapples with her haunting past and an uncertain future, Godavari stands at a crossroads.
Will she succumb to the burning desire for revenge against those who betrayed her? Or will she find the strength within to forgive, even when justice seems a distant dream? The path she chooses could determine the very survival of her and Sreeja. The Temple Is Not My Father invites you on a journey through one of India's lesser-known subcultures, offering a poignant exploration of a mother's sacrifice and the empowering bonds of sisterhood.
Godavari's story stands as a testament to the indomitable spirit of humanity, illuminating the path to resilience and healing for those who have endured unimaginable hardship. ? Spellings used in this book are British/Indian.? All books in this series may be read independently.
