The Daughters of Dharma
A Novel by Rick Cusick
The Novel
A story three thousand years in the making.
Five orphaned girls arrive, one by one, at St. Catherine's School for Girls in the Yorkshire moors. They share a surname no one can explain. Each is extraordinary in a different way.
On the eldest's eighteenth birthday, a stranger arrives with a letter and a stone. What the gifts reveal will change everything they know about who they are, why they were brought together, and what they're being asked to face.
A retelling of the Indian Epic The Mahabharata set in 1980s Britain. About dharma, chosen family, and the burden of bloodlines.
