Arriving in India to get his teeth fixed, Gursant Singh decides he needs a Punjabi wife and becomes embroiled with Dadaji, Amritsar’s notorious marriage broker. When their search for the perfect bride gets them both thrown into Amritsar’s Central Jail, Gursant has to look deep within himself and question everything he has been taught about the Sikh path - Sikhi.

"Escape" would imply someone was trying to stop him from giving up his yoga practice. Immediately.
This book is more interesting than you would expect. This book is an inspring look at how a courages young adult stood up to this disease and looked it straight in the eye.
