Book Summary –

Fourteen-year-old Heera, from the impoverished outskirts of a red-light district in Bihar, India, faces a harrowing fate: her father plans to sell her into the sex trade to settle family debts. Witnessing her cousin's suffering strengthens Heera’s resolve to escape that destiny. A lifeline arrives in the form of kung fu training, where she learns to revere her body as a source of self-defense—not exploitation. When her best friend goes missing, Heera undertakes a perilous rescue mission that spans from Bihar all the way to New York, drawing on martial arts, inner strength, and courage. Themes of bodily autonomy, female empowerment, community, and hope drive this gripping and emotionally resonant coming-of-age story.
