    About this ebook

    Mimi, is a young vivacious country girl, spirited and always on the lookout for new experiences. Her open nature and innate curiosity takes her sometimes to unexpected places and pulls her into the lives of others. Shiv, her close friend, shows her with his life, how the backgrounds of people can largely shape their future. In the process of growing up she gets caught in a major incident that rocked the placid village life, which changed it forever, transforming the lives of some people associated with it, beyond recognition. There is love, treachery, strife and helplessness in this story, all narrated with the simplicity of a young girls mind.
    Through the eyes of Mimi, an era is unfolded, when people lived in houses with open doors, where boundaries did not matter and the rhythm of life was like a mellow country song.
