                      Description(s)

                      A Balinese girl, whose childhood dreams turn into a nightmare in a foreign country, returns to her island home to rediscover herself, but her problems follow her and multiply. Fate holds her captive and she finds it hard to escape from the path she is on. While writing her diary, she returns to her childhood haunts, retracing her own fears of bad karma. Home on her island that everybody considers to be a paradise, she finds very little respite. She is reminded that bad karma is accepted as retribution for ill deeds. The book is about the difficulty of a woman growing up and living in a patriarchal society, where men are in charge and free to live as they choose. The main character in my book, Madé Angel, travels abroad as I did, to escape the twin burdens of poverty and discrimination. She thought it would be different in western countries, but the same old problems are very much alive still all over the world. Women are still oppressed, in spite of education and the struggle for women's rights is ongoing. Madé learns that it is important to change her own self and demand respect, otherwise things will never get better.
