Twenty one years old Susmitha started facing problems not just because of her parents death in a flight accident at her fifteenth year itself but because of the strange will executed by her father also. It was the tradition for generations together in her family that the fathers do write wills so that their daughters get right on the properties of their fathers only after they enter into their twenty second year and get married. They do lose their right completely over their father’s assets if they marry before they enter into their twenty second year. Her life was indeed put into trouble when her uncle Nagendra Rao who became the guardian to her and her properties after the death of her parents and his wife and son wanted so desperately to get rid of Susmitha to have her properties completely for themselves. How she came out of the troubles is the story of romantic, suspense thriller ‘Handfuls of Sand’.
