About

The eldest of seven children,born low-caste and female in rural India,Mamta is abused and rejected by a father whocan see no reason to "water someone else's garden" until ahusband is found for her. Seeking escape in matrimony, Mamta beginsher wedded life with hope-but is soon forced to flee her village and thehorrors of her arranged marriage to the bustle of a small city. Saved from becomingone of the nameless and faceless millions of rejected humanity by thesalvation of sublime love, Mamta struggles to find a precarious state ofacceptance and make peace with her past.
Powerfully affecting and uplifting, set against a vivid and colorful backgroundof Eastern life, Dipika Rai's Someone Else's Garden transcends geographicaldivides and cultural chasms to brilliantly expose the commonalityof the human condition, compelling us to seek answerswithin ourselves to humanity's eternalquestions: Is life random?Do we have a destiny?
