Book Excerpt
Rama's Labyrinth: A Biographical Novel (Women of Determination and Courage)

“I never looked at it from that perspective. How does supporting the school benefit the donors?”
“Good heavens, why else would anyone do it? Why, for example, are you committed to this school for child widows?”

Scott stroked his mustache. “Very well. It’s my destiny to help you, and if doing so makes me happy, so much the better.”
Rama laughed. “I hope you become exceptionally happy.”
