About this ebook
What would you do if someone you love dearly is diagnosed with an incurable cancer? Pray for a miracle, search for all possible remedies and put everything at stake for the sake of a cure? This is the dilemma that faced all those who loved Lamchwa.
Lamchwa had to shoulder responsibility of his mother and his siblings at an early age owing to the death of his father in a cave-in at a coal mine. By dint of his honesty, grit and hard work, he rescues his family from the grips of poverty. He then falls in love with an amazing and brilliant scholar but is caught in the web of a love triangle. Then, unexpected events shatter his dreams of a perfect world and pushes everyone connected to him in turmoil. Can he overcome the killer disease that threatens his life, his family and his love?
Set in the picturesque Jaintia Hills of Meghalaya, India, the story of Lamchwa also explores some problems of haphazard coal mining which threaten the environment.
