Inspirational tale
Shenoy addresses the plight of oppressed Indian women
"Indian women are conditioned to be rule followers. And it is a small percentage which breaks out of that mold. The book promises to be an inspirational tale for those who find it difficult to stand up for what they want in life," Shenoy said.
Shenoy has previously authored best-selling books like 'A Hundred Little Flames' and 'It's all in the Planets'.

Shenoy had asked people to share their "mother-in-law from hell stories" anonymously and added that she was shocked to discover the things people shared, even in this day and age.
"Some of those incidents found its way into the book," she said.
Shenoy was recently featured in the book, 'The Famous Writers and Their Cats', in the esteemed company of renowned international writers.
