Why is a stunningly beautiful and brilliant young woman rejected by her society? Why is she so feared? In an impoverished and deeply religious village where 'strangeness' is stigmatized, a young woman deals with abuse, alienation and torture in a most unusual manner, incurring society's wrath. "One cursed by such beauty deserves to be in the hands of a very powerful man." A Broken Rose takes you on a startling journey from an erosion-ridden, superstitious village, through the practices of a dying pagan religion to the modern world of a wealthy and influential family burdened with secrets.
