Book Cover & Preview Text
ABUSE FOR USE is a narration of the day to day living and incidents faced by victims of domestic violence at that impressionable junction in life usually hyperboloid for girls. The girl victims, single mothers and women who are being neglected here, but somehow survive on their own in a country where THE AMERICAN DREAM is a challenge in itself. Global women's rights are also being jeopardized, the women's tireless and endless efforts in appeasing their families by placing other’s rights and concerns before themselves are being endangered and the efforts to eliminate discrimination against women are being failed time and again miserably. The sacrifices taken by women to safeguard their families are being neglected and the sustainable development goals for the underprivileged women folk in America and women empowerment all over the world are being imperiled. So these endeavors will not end and so is this ABUSE FOR USE in the world. This is soon to be followed by, God willing, another phase of my life, when women like me encounter psychological deviations from normal, to borderline, to abnormal and face compatibility issues ranging between downfall from normalcy to climb up from abnormalcy all circumventing ground realities and not overvalued ideas, which also is being converted to another book form with the title USE FOR ABUSE. Look forward to seeing you then.

About the Book
Abuse for Use is a story of a teenage girl given in marriage and sent to America fulfilling her parents’, and not hers, American dream for a desired comfort level in home life. She almost lands up in a shelter home because of abuse instead of use. This is a story of conflicting interpersonal interests, contrasts in practiced values, varied interplay of coping resources and prevailing sources of help, feelings and emotional exchanges between diverse mind-sets, ambiguity of facts, imbalance between her reality, and interpretations by her parents seven seas apart. This is a story of dependence on helpless factors, opposing expectancy levels, personality deviations, varying tolerance thresholds among people, overstretching of strengths, fighting of weaknesses, and dissimilarity in perceptions of virtues by classes of the same community. Abuse for Use is a record of recollections, a record of sequential events originating from severe mental cruelty to gradual adaptability of circumstances, of experiences leading to growth and development, finally climaxing into a gospel of teachings for all other women to feel empowered and to be able to fight for their civil rights.

She took over a 3-decade old family run business, transformed it both inside and outside, taking it to the next level via social media, public relations and sheer hard work.
