<p>Vandana Kumari Jena creates a stirring melange of thrill, suspense, agony and ecstasy.</p><p>A woman finds herself accused of her husband’s murder while she still grieves his passing. A man’s</p><p>life spins out of control. He fears that his days may be numbered if he waits too long for a kidney</p><p>transplant while his suspicions of his wife’s infidelity grow strong. A woman finds a storm brewing</p><p>in her life when she is asked to be a surrogate.</p><p>Over the Edge is a collection of stories where you will find love and longing, recriminations and</p><p>regrets, murder and mayhem.
