But to Graci Doll, the vision looked as distant as the Taj Mahal. The teenager's life revolved around her sheltering home, her family, Catholic school and swim team. The world seemed far away. Then one summer day almost two years ago, while in the patch picking the ripe ones, Graci looked up to discover that the world had arrived on Marycrest Drive. Walking past, the girl was about Graci’s age, petite while Graci was tall and muscular. The girl’s long black hair shrouded half her face. Graci's mom had mentioned that the girl was living with the neighbors on Marycrest Drive. The girl was from India. Her first name was Prerna, prayer-na. Her last name was Gandhi. Graci said hi. The girl stopped, hesitated, nodded hello. The two talked a bit, then the Indian girl moved past to the end of the street, then entered the neighbor’s house. The next day, Graci knocked on that door and invited Prerna to go on a walk. Up close, Graci noticed that the fall of black hair was a veil, for deep scars on the right side of Prerna’s face, over her eye, cheek, neck, shoulder and arm. Graci had to ask. What happened? Calmly, for she had told the story countless times already, Prerna began: Some boys threw acid on me. Graci struggled to process that sentence. Prerna explained: The attack occurred three years before, when she was 13, in her hometown of Rohtak. On June 18, 2011, Prerna and a friend with a scooter were leaving a tutoring class. It was around dinner time. Prerna begged the friend, just this once, to let her drive. The friend sat behind Prerna as they wound through the streets. They stopped for traffic about five minutes from Prerna's house, and a motorcycle approached, with two older boys aboard. As soon as the bike drove past, Prerna heard and felt a splash. Her blouse turned to ashes. Her skin blanched and bubbled. Listening to the story, Graci still couldn’t believe it. Boys . . . threw . . . acid on you? Prerna, smiling through her scars, said a person can go to any market in India and buy a bottle of sulfuric acid, to clean toilets or sinks, for 20 rupees. But sometimes, the acid is a weapon. This happens mainly to women and girls. Graci asked: What are you doing here? I’m getting treatment, Prerna said.
