A Little About An Unlikely Goddess:

Sita is the firstborn, but since she is a female child, her birth makes life difficult for her mother who is expected to produce a son. From the start, Sita finds herself in a culture hostile to her, but her irrepressible personality won’t be subdued. Born in India, she immigrants as a toddler to the U.S. with her parents after the birth of her much anticipated younger brother. Sita shifts between vastly different worlds.

Make sure to take a look at today’s HOT NEW Release An Unlikely Goddess.
