A Life Less Ordinary - by Baby Halder (Paperback)

A Life Less Ordinary is a heart-wrenching yet inspiring true story of one woman's unbreakable spirit in the face of poverty, abuse, and oppression.

Born into a life of hardship and struggle, Baby Halder was abandoned by her mother and left to fend for herself with an abusive father.

Married off at 12 to a man twice her age, she became a mother at 14, only to be subjected to a staggering workload as a maid in Delhi's wealthiest homes.

Despite the unimaginable challenges she faced, Baby never complained, for such is the lot of the poor in modern-day India.

This book is both a testament to her strength and courage and a shocking look into a world of poverty and subjugation that few outsiders know about.

With a New York Times review calling it "an Indian Angela's Ashes," A Life Less Ordinary is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the true struggles of the poor in India and be inspired by one remarkable woman's determination to soar above her circumstances.
