A protected daughter is unexpectedly used in an arranged marriage to save her brother's life. Overnight, she becomes a stranger's wife, living in a new environment. Carrying the burden of maintaining peace between two hostile families becomes her main goal, with only her sister on the phone for support. The simplicity of the plot is rewarded with the complex, emotional journal of a young woman thrown into an impossible situation. She tries to find her way as a wife, but her brother's thirst for revenge might turn her wedding bells into a funeral wail. It is a journey written from Helena's point of view, with temperamental and sassy thoughts allowing us to connect with her on each page. None of us will face such a fate, but many will find themselves in a trap that feels like you unwillingly entered a game you can only lose.
