Freedom Lost in Bloomington, MN

Freedom is easily lost and often taken for granted. When two brothers are forcibly reunited, they accidently adventure far from home, lost in a foreign city and begging for shelter. Forced to work on secluded farms in Southwestern Karnataka, the two brothers must put aside their differences if they are to find their way back home. They soon discover the horrors of debt bondage and encounter violent prejudice occurring in the neighboring villages, still segregated by caste. The two brothers must fight for their dignity, their freedom, their survival. Author Chandra Ingram has done more than write a powerful novel about slavery; she also educates readers about India's current corruption, poverty, caste system, and bondage system. She will open your eyes to the horrors of slavery that are still occurring in our so-called "modern" society. This is a must-read for anyone interested in global politics and human rights.
