Más información sobre el libro

HARINI boarded a flight to a far-away country that has a high reported rate of domestic violence. Simultaneously, nine other women from different parts of the US boarded their flights to the same destination. When Fair Anita, a fair-trade jewelry brand invited applications for a trip to travel with the founder, and meet twelve of the eight thousand artisan women partners, she immediately signed up. She was determined to go on this journey, though that meant dealing with her own inner traumas. Little did she know that this trip and the women she would meet there would become an integral part of healing and for believing in herself. As she came back home to a new world that had forever changed from COVID-19, she wondered if she was also already changed from her old self. BEADS THAT LEAD is an account of reflection and self-discovery of an ordinary girl with extraordinary questions about life. A tale of loss, grief, pain, and hope. This book is a recollection of her journey to the far away land and an attempt to discover answers along the way. Harini has crafted a memoir that gets to the heart of what it means to be a woman in today's world; the shift in perspectives for an equal world and the answer to an evergreen question we ask ourselves, "What can I do about it?"
