Sahaara would do anything to protect her mother. When she
learns the truth about Kiran's past, she feels compelled to seek justice--even
if it means challenging a powerful and dangerous man.
if i tell you the truth
that i've dug
from the hardened depths
of this shrapnel-filled dirt
with these aching, bloody hands
would you believe me?
would you still love me?
