She Roared Like a Lion  (English, Paperback, Gautam Prasanna)

She Roared Like a Lion is the compelling diary of Kammo, who disappeared during a high-stakes mission in Nigeria to rescue victims of human trafficking. Born to a courageous Gorkha soldier's daughter and a powerful but abusive politician in Nepal, Kammo's life was marked by intense struggles. Forced into a marriage with a closeted man, she endured years of exploitation and control. Her husband, desperate to mask his secret, subjected her to repeated abuse, while her mother-in-law treated her with cruelty. Despite her efforts to survive this toxic environment, Kammo found herself homeless with two young children, seeking refuge in the humblest of places. Kammo’s journey from a victim to a protector is inspiring. Her fierce determination to safeguard her children and other vulnerable women led her to seek police protection. Recognized for her resilience and resourcefulness, Kammo joined community policing and eventually became a Warden at a shelter for abuse survivors. Her unwavering commitment to this cause drove her to become an integral part of a rescue team combating human trafficking across Nepal and beyond. In her final entries, Kammo reflects on forgiveness and the complex emotions surrounding her family. Her sons grapple with their father’s secret life and the challenges of accepting each other. Kammo’s story is a powerful testament to courage, transformation, and the enduring fight against human trafficking.
