Book Excerpt
Rama's Labyrinth: A Biographical Novel (Women of Determination and Courage)
How could this be? She was healthy. I hear what people say. Stupid test. But it’s all decided without me. I must find a new profession. One with respect. But what? Rama sat on her cot staring at the crucifix. It reminded her of the one she and Srinivas had seen when they went to the Christian meeting in Calcutta. So much had happened since then.
Oh, no. She’d dedicated Mano to God. Is this how you’ll take her? By sending me away and leaving her with the Sisters? Rama dropped her head. Please don’t do this. She’s all I have left of Bipin. Don’t take her.
