The idea of having a woman as the central character inspired me to pen down this book,” said Tanya Jaiswal, Author, Battles & Betrayals.
Kumari Lakshmi, Mother of the author while expressing her thoughts on the success of her daughter said, “I was under the impression that she was into academics only. It was a pleasant surprise that she was writing a book. I didn’t have words when I realized that she has quietly completed 12 chapters, and was almost half way through the book. I eagerly wanted to go through her creation. That time I felt she has grown from playing dolls to serious writing.”
