Book Description
In a country of 1.38 billion people with a literacy rate of about 77.7, we still have heinous social crimes venged upon Indian women like Child Marriage, Dowry, Rape, Acid Attacks, Female infanticide, Honour killing, accusation and execution of witchcraft, forced prostitution and what not! Our Constitution framed many laws to abide by the rules and it mentions many rights for their survival. Many NGOs are working for women safety and Pradhan Mantri Yojnas are also functioning to support the funding for such noble initiatives. But what about the issues, women have to face on a daily basis? They have to choose family over career. They have to face male chauvinism at the office and betrayals from their husbands at home. They have to suffer bullying if they say “No” to their men and are tagged as whore if they ask for more. I penned down six short stories, where I deliberately picked six women protagonists who are from different demographics of India. They have problems and they drive out quirky and out-of-the-box solutions to live happily ever after. This collection of stories humorously explores the dark and ironic side of some undebated social issues that are faced by women in India. I may have wrapped them in fiction and served them with comedy and mushy love affairs to arouse the reader’s curiosity but the intention is to throw light on these issues as they are making our society frail enough to collapse. It’s not some war against men; it’s just a step to make women’s life easier at home and at workplaces through entertainment.

And now, because of promises she made to her dying mother, she's bound to the ship and her deeply grieving father more than ever. Nick Clark is grateful to be hired on as the Mary Elise's first mate as he works to overcome his own guilt and others' censure for a fatal decision he made captaining another ship. He feels protective of the Wrights and their generous natures, especially when a rough new sailor seems intent on causing serious trouble. As the sailor's misdeeds grow, tragedy swells up from another corner. Left to pick up the pieces of the commitments they've made to themselves and to each other, Nick and Elise will have to rely on their faith to see them through.

Book Description
Unique in combining a comprehensive and comparative study of genre with a study of romance, this book constitutes a significant contribution to ongoing critical debates over the definition of romance and the genre and artistry of Malory's Morte Darthur. K.S. Whetter addresses the questions of how exactly romance might be defined and how such an awareness of genre impacts upon both the understanding and reception of the texts in question.
