I was captured by this story from the beginning. The atmosphere was amazing and I felt everything with Sitara that whole way. I like how her grief came and went; that is wasn't a linear path to healing. 
I just wanted adult Sitara to get her happiness and peace at the end. You could see how what she went through as a child translated to her behaviours as an adult. 

Also creepy foster parents, no thanks. Sitara did not deserve that at all after all she went through! I understand that that is how the system works but she had suffered enough!
