Book Excerpt
Rama's Labyrinth: A Biographical Novel (Women of Determination and Courage)
“Ajibai, did you receive my note? Fetch Mano so we can be baptized.” Rama paused. Ajibai hadn’t hugged her or even smiled. “I thought you wanted me to convert. Then I’ll be like you. I know. Maybe Mano and I could become nuns. Then we’d always be together.”
“Come inside, dear. A person can’t receive baptism on a whim. It’s a big step.”
Rama drew herself up. Maybe the nuns didn’t want her after all.
