Not only does she feel all alone, but, she's also dealing with a horrible secret about what happens to her almost daily behind closed doors. While Holly knows that she needs to tell someone, she can't bear the thought of not being believed. Her whole life, people have called her a liar, a troublemaker, and a bad influence, and in more ways than one, she has lived up to those labels. Determined to hide her secret, Holly goes to school each day angry and confused. She takes her anger and frustrations out on others, especially those who she feels have more than her. She becomes a bully, determined to hide her vulnerabilities by being a self-proclaimed mean girl. Matt Shulman is the new kid from LA and to Holly; he seems to have it all. However, contrary to what Holly believes, Matt does not have a perfect life. Confused and plagued with thoughts of wanting to rid themselves of their pain, Matt and Holly are drawn into events that end in unspeakable tragedy and heartache for both teens and their families.

Fanish is the name of the central character and is a novel about Vanita and Gazal who are vulnerable girls abused and neglected by their families. They are befriended by Fanish who uses his hypnotic charm to draw them into his web of international drug and sex trafficking. He becomes their confidant and companion and as so often happens with defenceless children, they blossom in confidence. They are caught in his web of deceit and subsequently realise that his intention had only been to exploit their feeling of powerlessness and wounded trust in adults. Fanish highlights the realism that without concerned adults, children can easily be trapped and exploited and illustrates the trauma the victims undergo; the scars they leave which in turn inflame reprisal.

"My name in Monei Ntuka and this is the story of my childhood in the village of Mochudi, in the then British Bechuanaland Protectorate, in the mid to late sixties. It is, of course, not the whole story of my youth, for didn't my grandmother Mma-Tseitsi, mother of my father, tell me many times, A tongue can talk until numb with fatigue, but it can never tell the whole story'? And didn't she gently admonish me saying, Child of my child, a good story teller knows when to stop, just as a dreamer knows when to wake up.' In any event, a look at self can never be a full stare; it has to be a series of glimpses."
