Stunning New Memoir Tracks a Woman's Journey from Oppression in India to Freedom in America

On Six Dollars to America by Meheroo Jussawalla is the author's incredible autobiographical tale of how she fled a repressive regime to find liberty in America.

Honolulu (PRWEB) November 1, 2007 -- On Six Dollars to America is author Meheroo Jussawalla's deeply satisfying autobiography. The memoir tells the gripping story of a turbulent time in India's political history and one woman's determination to live free in the world.

What is the price of freedom? For author Meheroo Jussawalla it was just six dollars--the only money she was allowed to take from India when she fled a cruel regime for the promise of freedom and a new life in the United States.

In lucid, graceful prose, Jussawalla tells the story of her upbringing in India during the decline of the British Raj. She witnessed both the rise of Mahatma Gandhi and the era of Nehru. But when Indira Gandhi, Nehru's daughter, came into power, India fell under the yoke of Marxism and communism. It was than that Jussawalla left her homeland for the dream of a better life and intellectual opportunity in America.

On Six Dollars to America is a richly rewarding saga of a changing India and the indemonstrable spirit of one extraordinary woman. Now an internationally recognized scholar in the economics of telecommunication, Jussawalla delivers an inspiring message of hope to every individual who has ever felt repressed.
