A Woman Who Cries to The Black Moon

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.
