Women of Punjab share their pains with Dr. Harshindar Kaur. They phone, they write, they visit her in person. Harshindar also goes to visit them. There could be some villages where Harshindar may not have gone but there’re many where she and her husband Dr. Gurpal Singh have gone more than once. Women who die before she reaches them leave their tears for Harshindar. Stories in this book are written in these tears.
