It is, as she's been told, the fate of all women in Girls Bazaar to end up there. But what if she can learn to fight back against 'fate'? When a local hostel owner presents her with the opportunity to practice kung fu, Heera begins to learn that her body isn't an object to be preyed upon, but a vessel through which she can protect herself. She will face unimaginable barriers -- expulsion from school, the unapologetic forces of nature, and a local trafficker who won't take his sights off her. But fate can change, and heroics are contagious. As Heera starts to piece together the whereabouts of a missing friend through a pen pal in the United States, and a competition takes her to New York, the desire to ensure her friend's survival might just lead her to make the ultimate risk" -- $c from the dust jacket. 650 0 $a Teenage girls $z India $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Child trafficking $z India $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Kung fu $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Debt $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Families $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Prostitution $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Youth hostels $z India $v Juvenile fiction. 650 1 $a Teenage girls $z India $v Fiction. 650 1 $a Child trafficking $z India $v Fiction. 650 1 $a Kung fu $v Fiction. 650 1 $a Debt $v Fiction. 650 1 $a Family life $v Fiction. 650 1 $a Prostitution $v Fiction. 650 1 $a Youth hostels $z India $v Fiction. 650 7 $a Debt $v Fiction. $2 sears 650 7 $a Families $v Fiction. $2 sears 650 7 $a Sex trades $v Fiction. $2 sears 651 0 $a Bihar (India) $v Juvenile fiction. 651 1 $a Bihar (India) $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Social problem fiction. $2 lcgft 941 $a 19 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20240509013554.0 952 $l SMPE094 $d 20240305011109.0 952 $l SKPC094 $d 20231212011106.0 952 $l UGPF911 $d 20231207011418.0 952 $l GFPE771 $d 20231206012504.0 952 $l RUPC135 $d 20231121012014.0 952 $l KWPE446 $d 20230929010810.0 952 $l OEPC877 $d 20230921163945.0 $m JF Gup 952 $l RZPE145 $d 20230816010534.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20230802012910.0 952 $l TFPI826 $d 20230706011515.0 952 $l BJPD251 $d 20230622010249.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20230621010443.0 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20230606010949.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20230603010117.0 952 $l XBPE737 $d 20230602015706.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20230512010457.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20230505010328.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20230504010328.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=FE13FA4CEA4011EDA3E935F65AECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
