There she becomes the most highly requested henna artist - and confidante - to the wealthy women of the upper class. But trusted with the secrets of the wealthy, she can never reveal her own... Known for her original designs and sage advice, Lakshmi must tread carefully to avoid the jealous gossips who could ruin her reputation and her livelihood. As she pursues her dream of an independent life, she is startled one day when she is confronted by her husband, who has tracked her down these many years later with a high-spirited young girl in tow - a sister Lakshmi never knew she had. Suddenly the caution that she has carefully cultivated as protection is threatened. Still she perseveres, applying her talents and lifting up those that surround her as she does."--Publisher description. 650 0 $a Young women $z Jaipur $z Jaipur $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Mehndi (Body painting) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Abused women $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Henna (Dye) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Secrecy $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Sisters $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Artists $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Upper class $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Jaipur (India) $v Fiction. 651 0 $a India $x History $y 1947- $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Large type books. 650 7 $a Abused women. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00794870 650 7 $a Artists. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00817559 650 7 $a Henna (Dye) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01721201 650 7 $a Large type books. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00992678 650 7 $a Mehndi (Body painting) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01015599 650 7 $a Secrecy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01110644 650 7 $a Sisters. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01119758 650 7 $a Upper class. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01162136 650 7 $a Young women. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01183301 651 7 $a India. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01210276 651 7 $a India $z Jaipur. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01207810 648 7 $a Since 1947 $2 fast 655 0 $a Large type books. 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726640 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 941 $a 4 945 $a lpt 952 $l VJPB334 $d 20231226011517.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20221025011527.0 952 $l BJPD251 $d 20221008010401.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20210824012340.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=BE31F77604A011EC84DF9CAF2EECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b LJWInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
