Homeless bird / by Whelan, Gloria,author.(CARDINAL)717851;
The story of a remarkable young woman who dares to defy fate. Like many girls her age in India, thirteen-year-old Koly faces her arranged marriage with hope and courage. But Koly's story takes a terrible turn when in the wake of the ceremony, she discovers she's been horribly misled; her life has been sold for a dowry. Relays the story of a rare young woman, who even when cast out into a brutal current of time-worn tradition, sets out to forge her own remarkable future. Inspired by a newspaper article about the real thirteen-year-old widows in India today.Accelerated Reader ARAccelerated ReaderReading Counts RCNational Book Award for Young People's Literature, 2000
