A coming-of-age story set primarily in New Delhi, India, with a sub-plot
taking place in New York, Abby Virtually captures a young teenage
girl's foray into global tech entrepreneurship against the backdrop of a
society caught between modernity, traditional values, and the changing
role of women. Abhaya, an Indian teenager from New Delhi, India, cannot
stand living at her parents' home any longer. Sharing a room with an
older sister, she distastes a father who is heavy on tradition. A
brilliant programmer, Abhaya forges a secret life online, where she
rents her services to clients around the world with a secret plan to
make enough money, so she can run away from home. With its multiple
layers, Abby Virtually introduces readers to themes including
contemporary generational gap, ethnical prejudice, and violence against
women. Yet where Abhaya's journey ends up taking her, is the last place
she would have ever imagined.
