People say 'let the dead past bury its dead'. But, can one truly forget their agonizing past to concentrate on the present and pave way for a beautiful and bright future?

Young, independent and on the path of success, 26-year-old Sam definitely has a story to tell. With a disturbing yet memorable past and equally frustrating present, she fights against all the odds including her own bipolar, to make the world a better place to live in, for herself and for all the people surrounding her.
No, wait! It's not that simple! 
It's not just her tale. 
 
Anil, an aspiring writer and civil servant. 
Arbaaz, an anti-hero with a complicated character.
Tania, a magazine editor, a dusky skinned girl fighting against the societal norms.
Dr. Ellen, a psychiatrist and an estranged daughter.

A cock-TALE of many people around Sam, from different walks of life wound together to make HER tale. Each character has a story of his/her own and an individual fight against the patriarchal Indian society. 

It describes friendship, love, romance, social issues around us, bitter truth, practical mystery, has teen ventures and most of all, it defines life itself. Beware! It might leave you breathless at some point!

Author's Note: This book doesn't intend to hurt the sentiments of people from any caste or religion. It solely highlights the problems existing in our country (India) and abroad. It has slightly matured content and few cuss words but it could be freely read by a 16-year-old  and older.
It is just a book written by a 16 year old. A work of fiction, drawn inspiration from a few instances of my life and my personal experiences. However, it's not my tale and absolutely NOT a teen fiction. 
The reason I put it under general fiction is that, it just doesn't fit into any other single category.
Remember, this is a draft that is being published right now and is subject to editing and changes in the near future.

A modern Pride and Prejudice story. Only sexier. Mira is a refugee, starting a new life far from home. She has to deal with her troubled past, her son, and her enigmatic boss, while her only weapon is her killer sense of humor. It's a slow-building love-hate story, with a strong female lead; two control freak lawyers, fighting for dominance, in denial of their feelings; an alpha discovering his submissive side; lots of humor and humanism. ~73K words ~~~ Warnings: - Mild language. Characters talk like white-collar workers usually do in real life. - Chapter 43 has mild sexual content. It isn't very graphic, it's emotional, rather, but if you don't want to read about it, just skip it. It won't affect the story. ~~~ Featured: - WP Romance's Read Together and Head Over Heels reading list - WP ChickLit and Women's Fiction reading list - WP New Adult's Romance reading list - WP Adult Fiction reading list - WP Classic Authors Twisting Austen's Magical Moments reading list - WP Retold reading list ~~~ Reviews: "You have a lot of literary elements going for you: your style is chock full of subtext, humor, and intelligence. There's a careful craftsmanship in world-building, character development, and theme." Scripturam Awards "A truly unique story with a quite remarkable a plot! It has the ability to convey the emotions stirred within the characters to the depth of readers heart!" The Graphomania Awards "I am beyond impressed with this work. The characters feel real; three-dimensional. The narration does not feel forced in any way, it flows as it reads." The Dream Awards "Some books lead with suspense and cliffhangers that even if you don't want to continue the book you do so just to sate your curiosity. But then a rare gem like this comes along and without any cheap tricks it pulls in, you just continue and keep reading it and you may not even know when you reach the end." Shadow City Awards

Yeah, he's got those. Push people away before they can hurt him, that's his motto. Arrogant, reckless, and doesn't give a damn about rules. But deep down?
