Provoked: The Story of Kiranjit Ahluwalia
Provoked: The Story of Kiranjit Ahluwalia

Journey from victim to victorious justice seeker.

If you've ever felt inspired by stories of personal transformation and resilience, "Provoked" could resonate deeply with you. It's not just a tale about the triumph over adversity; it's an intimate glimpse into Kiranjit Ahluwalia’s life and her metamorphosis from a victim of domestic abuse to a symbol of strength and hope. The emotional depth and social commentary it offers could make you reflect on the legal system, cultural challenges, and the power of the human spirit to overcome unimaginable trials.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.
