After living several years in the USA, particularly in Minnesota, the idealistic family relationship between Aragsan and her husband Abshir had soured. The loyal and faithful subservient homemaker Aragsan runs into the toughest and most difficult situation in her life; Language barrier, cultural shock and the stigma attached to being Singal Maadar from within her own community, and prejudice against Singal Maadars in general. In addition, the Singal Maadar suffers knowingly or unknowingly from Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and extreme anxiety and fear which descended from not only the ruined relationship with her husband, but also guilty and remorse feelings associated with her disabled son and the miserable life of her mother. As a disenfranchised single mother with emotional torment, Aragsan must tussle with both her own life and her children’s daily life.
