Magi Diela was kidnapped and tamed like an animal. Her dream to build Sumba, her
hometown, was scattered. Now she had to fight against her parents, all the villagers, and
traditional custom that robbed her freedom and rights as a woman. When culture had
imprisoned her struggling heart, Magi had to choose her own hell: leave her parents and
hometown, surrender herself to a jerk, or cheat on her own death.
This story was inspired by the tradition of kawin tangkap (kidnap and wed) in Sumba,
Indonesia. Many women became the victims of this wicked tradition. The author, Dian
Purnama, wanted to voice the cries of the women, that was unheard, even to God.
