Jasmine was an innocent young girl from England caught up in the murky world of ancient primeval traditions engineered by a bunch of strangers who were, far distant relations of her mother. Who knew when she waved goodbye to her friends at her new college, that it would be the last time she would ever see them again.

A short trip with her father to Pakistan becomes the stuff of nightmares for any girl who finds herself entrapped in a marriage at the age of 15. A marriage that her parents initially agreed to but soon end up as the unwitting prey to the coercive manipulations of their daughter's in-laws.

A marriage that sealed the fate of their innocent child leaving only a trail of regrets and devastation in its wake."

They could only watch in despair as their daughter's life began to unravel before their very eyes. It was too late to save her!

"I can never forgive myself for sending my daughter to her doom", her tearful father said one day to his wife. "We have failed her!" However Jasmine surprises them all as she rises from the ashes of her misery and faces incredible odds to survive the maelstrom of her marriage, proving to all that despite her in-laws coveted attempts to destroy her, she emerges as a survivor, closing the door on a past best left forgotten!"
