Book Excerpt
Rama's Labyrinth: A Biographical Novel (Women of Determination and Courage)
How then could I not keep the crooked woman with us? Do you understand?”
“No. You say the judge helped the widow so she would go away. You bought a ticket for the crooked woman.”
Rama laughed. “I’m sure if I hadn’t bought her a ticket, she would’ve found some other way to stay on the train. A person so determined won’t be prevented. Every obstacle becomes a challenge. But when the goal’s attained, gratitude follows. The crooked woman achieved her purpose and showed me mine. I’m not here to choose which of God’s children should be saved. I’m here to do His work.”
