The Ordeal Sixteen-year-old Rithanya can’t wait to go to boarding school and follow her dream of entering the Armed Forces Medical College. A far cry from the busy city life in her hometown of Bangalore, the strict, rural boarding school has strange rules and a stringent way of life for the students. Rithanya quickly settles in, making friends and enjoying her new life away from her sometimes overbearing family. But it isn’t all fun and games.

Once a bright and carefree girl, she falls into a terrible mental state of overwork and anxiety. Her deteriorating condition is of great concern to her family. Can Rithanya get better and continue her studies, or will the overwhelming pressure and her deteriorating mental health threaten to spoil her future plans? The Ordealis the touching narration of the travails of a sixteen year old girl, her indomitable determination, the valiant gritty battle to overpower the devil in her own mind and the deserving victory; it is also a lucid moving tale of enduring human relationships, and the patience and forbearance of her loved ones.
