A Book on Truth Today!

Young adult books have always been my favorite, and reading them often makes the mind tuned to the present times. YA books of any country teach us many things.

For a decade, there have been many books that not only talk about the fun and frolic the teenager lives have but also the most critical aspect of mental health. Fortunately, many Indian authors whom I always vouch for have been focusing on the issues that an individual faces when gets struck at the early age of adulthood. The unfortunate thing is that they mute themselves as they fear no one can listen to their voices. Thus, they resort to those who listen to them but fail to see the unexpected harm sometimes.

We see several situations see today in the news or in our neighborhood where the victims and convicts are very young people. Some cases involve young adults under the influence of alcohol and narcotics. Instead of reaching to the parents or the family, these youngsters reach out to strangers for help.

About the Book

One night is all it takes. A party turns into a nightmare for four teenagers. Alisha guards a secret that will shatter those who know her. Sharad is crushed under his family's expectations. Good little Ruhi makes a single mistake that will come back to haunt her. And AK is let down disastrously by those he trusts the most.

Neither their teachers nor their classmates know what is happening in their minds and how is their thought processes shaping up. This creates an alarming situation for sure. The psycho therapists' job has sprung up of all the professions, and every school or college or the premier institute has one dedicated doctor. Sadly, our country is yet to develop here.
