has anyone read this book by Gloria Whelan? i read it a long time ago and it's one of my fav books.
 it's very touching. it's below my reading level, but it still has a good plot.

it's about a pakistani (i think) girl who marries to this guy at a young age. but her husband is very sick and it turns out the family only wanted the boy to marry her for her dowry. they were using her and her money so they could take the boy to the ganges river where "he would be healed." and the boy still dies, and then her father-in-law soon afterwards. the evil mother-in-law abandons the girl in vrindivan. it's very sad. she gets a job doing embroidery and marries another guy. the end.
