Beatrice's bio:
A native of Sri Lanka,
I came to the United States in 1989 and settled in a suburb of Boston
with my husband, son, daughter and foster daughter. My interest in writing
began as a child when I turned my painful experiences into poems and
short stories. I've written and directed children's plays that were
presented on Sri Lankan radio for the Christian Children's Hour.
"In Contempt of Fate" is the searing experiences
I endured as a housemaid in Lebanon and, later, as a "marked woman"
in conservative Sri Lanka. Very few poor, downtrodden third world women
live to tell the tale of their lives - or have the opportunity to do
so. I'm one of the few, and this is my riveting tale.
