WHY THE PATH OF LIFE IS SO ZIGZAGGED AND THORNY FOR SOMEONE BORN AS A WOMAN? THIS IS A TRUE AUTOBIOGRAPHY WHICH GIVES US THE EXPERIENCE OF `TRUTH IS STRANGER THAN FICTION`. THIS AUTOBIOGRAPHY IS UNIQUE AS IT IS NOT WRITTEN BY ANYONE WHO IS FAMOUS OR WHO IS SOMEBODY SOMEWHERE. IT IS THE STORY OF A COMMON WOMAN, BORN IN A NORMAL FAMILY. BUT HER LIFE AFTER THE DEATH OF HER HUSBAND BECAME HELL FOR HER. SHE HAD TO FACE MANY DREADFUL FACTS. SHE HAD TO KEEP HER HOUSE RUNNING AND HAD TO STRUGGLE FOR THE SURVIVAL OF HER CHILDREN. SHE HAD TO ACCEPT PROSTITUTION TO EARN ENOUGH MONEY TO KEEP HER AND HER CHILDREN`S LIVING GOING. SHE HAD TO ACCEPT THE LIFE-STYLE BEYOND THE MORAL NORMS, VIRTUES, AND CULTURE. NO WONDER, HER WORDS, WHICH ARE FULL OF TRUTH; LEAVE US SPELLBOUND. स्त्री म्हणून जन्माला आल्यानंतर एखादीच्या आयुष्याची वाट इतकी वळणावळणाची आणि काटेरी का असावी? समाजाच्या रूढ, नैतिक चौकटीबाहेरचं जीवन स्वीकारावं लागलेल्या, देहविक्रय व्यवसायात येऊन जीवनाशी विलक्षण संघर्ष करत, करकरीत वास्तवाशी थेट नजर भिडवून वाटचाल करणा-या स्त्रीच्या प्रांजळ लेखणीतून उतरलेली ही आत्मकथा `ट्रूथ इज स्ट्रेंजर दॅन फिक्शन'चा अनुभव देते. अत्यंत वैचित्र्यपूर्ण घटना-प्रसंग कथन करत, समाजाच्या बेगडी नैतिकतेवर सहज शब्दांत पण भेदक प्रहार करत वाचकाच्या मनाचा ठाव घेते.
